Last week's workshop (olpcMAP Sprint) proved the unstoppable *force* of
passion behind grassroots deployments globally, just like those we will
be discussing in Haiti, with almost 500 projects/volunteers now vividly
emerging here:

Marina's blog is just 1 of 4+ summarizing the incredible
volunteering-is-NOT-a-spectator-sport work ongoing here:

Best of all, Boston's http://Haitian-Coalition.org will join us for our
upcoming OLPC_Boston monthly community meeting to discuss very
intriguing next-gen EduTech plans (OLPC, Sugar, http://open1to1.org etc)
emerging in Somerville Massachusetts, Haiti itself, and committed
Haitian diasporas far beyond:
Tue Jan 25, 5PM
One Laptop per Child
1 Cambridge Center
Kendall Sq/MIT Red Line subway stop
We all hope to see you there -- it's very clear there will be Tons to
discuss (9+ tangentially related trips to Haiti in Feb!) after a
wonderfully spontaneous dinner earlier tonight -- among some very
connected AND deeply dedicated Haitians in town here!
Thanks for joining us in 3 weeks to take this next step -- 1 humble
country at a time ;)
