1. I find this sentence impenetrable, and potentially somewhat surprising. 2. The entire text seems to be written with a subtle implication that the students in question live in the United States. For example: > # Each team member must have their immunizations. > # Each team member must hold a valid passport. > # Each team member is responsible for acquiring a visa, if needed. > > Teams are given a $10,000 stipend in order to cover operating costs, like their flight to Rwanda and host country > > A local person, like a teacher, cannot take the place of a student. I don't think this is the intent, given "students from all fields of study and nationalities are eligible". However, the text is confusing, and should be clarified. For example: > # 1 member of each team will participate in a workshop at MIT/OLPC in Cambridge this October 10-12 (all expenses covered by OLPC). Does that "all expenses" include a round-trip flight from Nigeria, if the team is composed of Nigerian university students? Yes or no, the answer should be there. 3. Given our emphasis on local control, this program should be advertised aggressively to high-performing African university students. Perhaps you already have a plan for this. 4. What is the purpose of the "workshop at MIT/OLPC in Cambridge" in October (roughly a month after the end of the internship)? --Ben
