Thanks Caryl: In my opinion, here are the TOP 10 COUNTRIES with the most immediate, meaningful and structured OLPC/Sugar volunteer opportunities today:
- Cambodia - http://cambodiapride.org - France - http://olpc-france.org - Ghana - http://ghanatogether.org - Haiti - http://unleashkids.org/category/haiti - Kenya - http://google.com/search?q=ntugi and http://olpckenyalliance.com - Lesotho - http://laptopstolesotho.org - Malaysia - http://olpcbasecamp.blogspot.com - Nepal - http://olenepal.org - Peru - http://escuelab.org and Puno - USA - Charlotte & countless opportunities, contact me There are others of course! For the right people -- in any case, diverse hardware/software and educator/mentoring skill-sets are ALWAYS needed :-) Plz write me personally if you find great/resourceful/resilient people of any age who would like to be set up with a mentor, folks with an unquenchable curiosity who know how to live off the grid or not -- but who've already reviewed http://olpcMAP.net and others' experiences within deployment blogs like http://planet.laptop.org etc. And if so ask them to include their resumes and what languages they speak, thanks so much !!
