As part of our ongoing effort to learn best practices, and develop our community capacity, eKindling will be sponsoring a series of open talks on themes pertaining to OLPC deployment and content development. By learning from the wealth of experience of other organizations throughout the globe, we will be better positioned to deploy programs and develop relevant content for the benefit of children across the Philippines. Engage, ask questions, and learn as we bring you the innovators and changemakers of the OLPC realm. - eKindling Team
