OLE Nepal
Open Learning Exchange (OLE) Nepal was founded in July of 2007 by Rabi Karmacharya, Bryan Berry, and Mahabir Pun. All three had been working on the One Laptop Per Child project for over one year's time. Mahabir Pun, in particular, has been connecting remote Nepali villages to the Internet for the last 7 years. OLE Nepal has signed an agreement with the government of Nepal to help implement Nepal's pilot of OLPC in 2008. As part of that, we are creating fully open-source digital content for the Nepal government's OLPC pilot in spring 2008. OLE Nepal is non-profit organization registered in Kathmandu.
We have a full-time staff of 7 and two full-time volunteers. Our content development team has one graphic designer and three programmers. Check out our demonstration activities. For the present, we are entirely focusing on developing learning activities in Squeak.
