congrats manud and team lugb, This is the best possible trip and excursion tour anyone can have in which you shared your knowledge with village students. Congrats manud on successful completion of this project on OLPC. +1 to skbohra, this trip must be taken as an ideal trip to include in any project involving provision of education to village students.
