HAITI FEAST ON EDUCATION INVITATION

(http://www.eventbrite.com/event/558710117) plz join our Haitian Creole
for Education Community Dinner right afterwards, co-hosted with the One
Laptop per Child/Sugar Labs NYC Volunteer Community, at superb Haitian

5:30PM Saturday, Feb 6
All welcome -- thanks for closing your laptop for an evening to talk
about what a Kreyol E-Learning really means for those Haitian children
who soon will be opening Theirs.
RSVP to holt @ laptop.org with your party size, so I can adjust the
growing reservation!
Most important, thanks all for investing your life's greatest skills
this year in creating a foundation for Haiti's Library of Alexandria for
Education, which we invite you to do starting here:

Later Carmina will preview a colorful web site to help facilitate
community-organizing of quality Kreyol works to this end, in whatever
form this "Peoples Library" takes.
But one Book at a Time: /we here are intentionally starting translation
with just 1 book, and a long horizon/. That is http://laptop.org/manual
created by deeply dedicated OLPC/Sugar volunteers, and very soon to be
translated to Kreyol for Haitian kids (aged 5 to 95) thanks to the
coordination of some Heroic people in NYC's Haitian community
especially. So these exact same 5-year olds might remember their little
community guide to a more creative-collaborative 21st century, if not
the elders who wrote it back in 2010 -- when these kids turn 95 too. No
matter how high the oceans in that year when that next (22nd) century
quickly arrives...
