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 the olpc-philippines and participate in the discussions.
