Dear Mr. Leonard, Mr. Holt, Mr. Battley, Catalyst for Hope Project - Sri Lanka - UPDATE >> > Answers to questions brought up via e-mail and Sep 28 LiveChat:
1) *Sinhala translation of Sugar UI*: We have found a great volunteer, Pahan Charithanga in Sri Lanka to help with that. This is what he said regarding the e-mail from Mr. Leonard. "I contributed OLPC during my internship period and I am ready to contribute again. We conducted some teachers workshops and provided technical assistance for them. I can talk to people who worked with me and get their involvement as well. For the translation of the UI we can get sinhala blogging community, and university student's contributions. All we have to do is make aware about the project". Pahan's contact: *pahan...@gmail.com* 2. Dr. Jayantha has talked in depth with the local school staff: here are her comments - " -- We can get the maximum support from the school staff. One or two dedicated teachers are possible to get trained. -- Internet access is also possible. -- Graders 8 and 9 (12-14 years old) are better suited for the project" - for now. 3. Electricity is available at school. We are eager to move forward with this. Please let us know what the next step is to get OLPC laptops to Sri Lanka.
