Can't wait to see people Saturday all-day in NYC (many of us busing all
the way from Boston!) and also for a Great Haitian Dinner in Brooklyn --
once we kick out the reporters and the hard work's well-begun :-)
HAITI FEAST ON EDUCATION INVITATION
Even if you cannot make it to Saturday's full-day NYC Crisis Camp
events (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 Restaurant /KOMBIT!/
279 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn

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...
