Project Objectives: (excerpt)<br>
The major objective of the LCEC (Low
Cost English Centre) Project consists<br>
to offer, at no charge, the English
language training to secondary school<br>
pupils throughout our territory, Uvira.
Teachers at all levels (from<br>
Pre-School to University) in country
depend upon the meagre monthly<br>
contributions from pupils/students'
parents whose over 90% of them are<br>
crossing an extreme poverty. A fact
that makes it harder to request<br>
payments from resourceless
children/youths.<br>
<br>
As to your information, there is a
number of specific activities planned<br>
to be achieved by the LCEC Project as
to make more consistent &<br>
significant the training being offered,
as well as forming up really<br>
skillful English-speaking youths for a
brighter future of themselves<br>
and the one of the whole community.<br>

Our core objective is to provide
information technology to our students who<br>
range from ages 5-11. This objective
will equip and empower our students<br>
to become better persons and to make
better communities and a better country.<br>
In this 21st century when even piped
water is a luxury; these students will<br>
be able to learn outside of their
borders and to dream and think as world<br>
citizens and not to grovel in their
meagre existence.<br>

Project Objectives:<br>
Support team training<br>
<br>
We are going to get involved in OLPC
deployment and support on the long-term<br>
basis. This project's first goal is to
give us practical knowledge of the<br>
system.<br>
<br>
- Setting up local community network in
the heterogeneous environment.<br>
- Setting up and maintenance of XS in
the ad hoc network.<br>
- Daily maintenance and configuration.<br>
<br>
As a result, OLPC community will obtain
a permanent travelling team, ready<br>
to provide support in various areas. As
our experience grow, we shall also<br>
be able to train and support short-term
volunteers, as needed.<br>
<br>
Base for future Polish grassroot pilot<br>
<br>
As of Feb. 6th, 2011, we are actively
looking for contact with educators in<br>
Poland, interested in OLPC as an
alternative educational project. Our<br>
knowledge and experience with the
system will be used to introduce<br>
non-technical partners and let them get
familiar with the solution.<br>

Project Objectives:<br>
Create a UV water sterilization lamp
that attaches to a USB port on the OLPC<br>
and will last long enough to sterilize
several liters of water on one battery<br>
charge. This has humanitarian
implications as well as educational uses.<br>
It also promotes usefulness of the OLPC
in regions where water quality is<br>
questionable and as an emergency
response equipment in disaster areas.<br>

<br>
Project Objectives:<br>
There are several concurrent objectives
of this project. Principally, we<br>
plan to begin building an
audio-dictionary of the native language of
the<br>
Siona people and to use it to help the
young people learn their ancestral<br>
tongue. The secondary objective is to
achieve measurable learning outcomes<br>
primarily in math, science, English,
and Spanish amongst a group of children<br>
that shows little to no progress under
more standard teaching paradigms. The<br>
tertiary objective is to allow parents
(many of whom are illiterate) to<br>
advance their own educational levels by
using their son or daughter´s<br>
machine.<br>
