Thanks, Matt ________________________________ From: Bartek, Matthew Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2008 10:12 PM To: 'Tracy Price' Cc: Jaffe, Abraham; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OLPC PowerPoint Presentation to give at UMass Medical School Hello OLPC Team, We corresponded back in December (see below) and we have now received our XOs that we bought through the G1G1 program. We understand that you are unable to spare staff present here at UMass and so we are going to do the presentation ourselves. We are wondering if you have: a) A PowerPoint presentation on OLPC, what it is, what it does, etc. b) A poster with information about OLPC that we can post alongside the XO's when we display them at our school c) Any other promotional/informational material that we could use for this endeavor Thank you for any help you can offer. If you would prefer to call, try my cell: 617-794-0572. Sincerely, Matt (and Abraham) ________________________________ From: Tracy Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 11:08 AM To: Bartek, Matthew Cc: Jaffe, Abraham; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Presentation at UMass Medical School Dear Bartek, We regret we simply cannot spare personnel to demo the laptop, unless you have heard otherwise from [EMAIL PROTECTED] If so, please continue your correspondence with them. Thank you very much for your interest in One Laptop per Child and your very kind thoughts of fundraising! We truly appreciate it. Please note, however, that we are entirely concentrated on launching the laptop, and therefore, we have no personnel to monitor, assist or collaborate in such endeavors. Please understand we are an extremely small team working on a huge global project. We certainly thank you for the idea and people (in the US and Canada) are welcome to participate in the "Give One Get One" initiative, from November 12-26th, 2007 by going by to www.laptopgiving.org You are free to do what you would like with the laptop you receive, the one that is being donated by us cannot be designated. It will go to one of the poorest countries in the world according to UN statistics. We cannot say what country with certainty right now, we will be deciding at a later time. You may also be interested in the Give Many program, where you can designate the recipients of the laptops if you buy at least 100. Please see: www.laptopfoundation.org/en/participate/givemany.shtml or http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/group-giving.php email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 1-800-379-7017 Alternately, check(s) for simple donations, NOT related to G1G1, can be sent to: One Laptop per Child Foundation PO Box 425087 Cambridge, MA 02142 Or it is possible to give directly through the link here on our website, NOT G1G1 related: http://laptopfoundation.org/en/participate/ If the idea you have proposed raises funds for us, we are very grateful, we simply cannot "endorse", "make official" or loan our logo to any such efforts. Nor do we have any printed material we can send you, all information we have is online. We do not know if the Give One Get One will be extended, keep your eyes on the website. We sincerely thank you very much, OLPC Staff "Bartek, Matthew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/15/2007 08:43 PM To [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc "Jaffe, Abraham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject Presentation at UMass Medical School Dear OLPC, I am a first year student at Umass Medical School and just recently found out about the Give One, Get One Program. Along with a fellow medical student, Abraham Jaffe, I am hoping to arrange for the Umass community to support the donation of several laptops to developing countries, display the XO laptops that arrive here in the medical school lobby-a high traffic area that sees up to 1,000 people per day-and then donate those computer which were on display to a local charity for it to use for educational purposes. I am wondering if a staff member would be able to come to the medical school (we are located in Worcester, MA about a 1 hour drive from Boston) to give a presentation on the XO and on the OLPC mission as a whole to drum up support for the donation program. Could we arrange for such a presentation soon? In addition, in light of our efforts to raise money, is there a way we could extend the deadline of November 26 for the Give One, Get One program? I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Matthew A. Bartek ____________________ Matthew A. Bartek UMass Medical School Class of 2011
