Deployments in Vanuatu commenced in July 2008 with the delivery of 25 XO laptops to Wan Smolbag Theatre Group in Port Vila. They are currently awaiting localisation into Bislama before being used in literacy classes at the theatre.

Contacts:

  • Ian Thomson, RICS Coordinator, Secretariat for the Pacific Community (SPC) SPC
  • Wan Smolbag Theatre group [1]

A localisation project is being opened on the OLPC Pootle server for Vanuatu Bislama language.

The trials are being implemented in collaboration with the Wan Smolbag community theatre group. The intention is to link the OLPC trials with the educational drama activities and produce local content for the XO.
