Folks, With so many needs in Haiti and limited funds, Bill Steltzer asked a mentor in Haiti if they should be doing a computer program in Haiti when they really need clean water, food and shelter.
So with limited funds which do you choose? Clean Water or Education? Why not both? That is what we are trying to do with lesson plans on Water and Sanition. They include a lesson and an engineering challenge on building a Solar Still. The YouTube video poses the question and shows a powerful Etoys project done by a girl in Haiti just after the earthquake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OJQzjrSIMM So please Step Up OLPC and support these fine effortts.
