OLPC Philippines grassroots group


Mabuhay! Welcome to OLPC Philippines

OLPC Philippines (OLPC PH) is a grassroots coalition of forward-looking and like-minded individuals living in the Philippines and abroad who are working to bring the ideals of OLPC to Filipino children.

Please join and share your ideas - we're still very much in the formative stages, so people who are eager and willing to jump in are very, very welcome.

To join the group's mailing list, subscribe to olpc-philippines and participate in the discussions.
