<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Wanted to provide updates on Eshibinga
project , supplied with 2 XOs in June, and going strong.
A great candidate for a few more XOs. Sydney (a student) wrote
a lovely article earlier about how this is really a personal computer after
taking videos of his father who is ill. </FONT></DIV>

<P><EM>The jigger crisis has increasingly become an area of critical concern
not only for Eshibinga community but also to the larger community. It is a
health issue that seems to be an obstacle to effective learning, brings
discomfort and takes away the esteem of the students. The Eshibinga
communinity has decided to use the XO laptops to enlighten the masses on
issues sorrounding hygiene. The teachers led by Peter Amunga are designing a
framework that will address this issue. stay tuned!</EM></P>
<P><EM>This project is supported by Jane Wanju Bromberg of Webster MA
( a native Kenyan) and the on-site team leader is Peter Amunga.

Requests 4 XOs over 12 months<BR><BR> Project
Objectives:<BR> The overall objective of this project is to
develop a suite of games <BR>that<BR> can be deployed on
existing XO's throughout Haiti. These games will be<BR>
culturally-situated and will focus on educational content that is
both<BR> relevant and applicable to Haitian culture. A primary
focus of the<BR> developed games will be logical and
computational thinking, with an<BR> emphasis on understanding,
retaining, and following sequential<BR> instructions. Of
particular interest to us is the creation of a business<BR>
simulation game that will be centered around the ti machann (market
<BR>women)<BR> who are often believed to be the soul of
Haiti's economy. This game will<BR> allow the player to
experiment with running and growing a business,<BR> utilizing
microcredit loans, budgeting, hiring employees, etc. in an<BR>
environment where it is okay to fail. We hope to deploy this
particular<BR> project to the young women who are will
participate in the High Hopes<BR> Haiti project, which is
being established by Mothering Across <BR>Continents.<BR>
Additional games will focus on math, science, and geography. A
secondary<BR> objective will be to form a lasting partnership
with educational <BR>providers<BR> throughout the country so
we can continue to develop and deploy <BR>effective<BR> and
meaningful XO projects for the children and also evaluate the
<BR>success<BR> (or failure) of our
work.<BR><BR> Our specific objectives
are:<BR> - To create 3-5 educational games that are sensitive
to the cultural and<BR> economic conditions in
Haiti<BR> - To deploy these games on XO's currently in Haiti
and<BR> - To seek out methods of acquiring and deploying
additional XO's in<BR> Haiti<BR>
- Providing UNCC computer science students with additional
opportunities<BR> for game development and
outreach<BR><BR><BR>2. OLPC Polska - Warsaw, Poland<BR> <A

Objectives:<BR> We have 18 schools in Diema, Mali our town of
200,000 population,<BR> one of the poorest countries of the
world.<BR> I work within the schools to develop literacy
skills, local content,<BR> as well as hygiene and nutrition.
We plan to target primary schools<BR> and introduce computor
learning.<BR> Part of our project will be to encourage the
children to tell their own<BR> stories via our new Diema blog,
but we don't have sufficient funding to<BR> enable this
programme.<BR><BR> We would like to apply to your committee
for a donation of 15 XOs to <BR>begin<BR> this
programme.<BR><BR> Although we are grateful for the 2 XOs
already provided, to get the<BR> most out of the computors and
the children we need additional, allowing<BR> each child
opportuntiy to share the experience.<BR>-------------- next part

3-10 XOs over undeteremined months<BR><BR> Project
Objectives:<BR> We have 18 schools in Diema, Mali our town of
200,000 population,<BR> one of the poorest countries of the
world.<BR>
<DIV class=message-stanza-depth-1> I work within the schools to
develop literacy skills, local content,<BR> as well as hygiene and
nutrition. We plan to target primary schools<BR> and introduce
computor learning.<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=message-stanza-depth-1> Part of our project will be to
encourage the children to tell their own<BR> stories via our new
Diema blog, but we don't have sufficient funding to<BR> enable
this programme.<BR><BR> We would like to apply to your committee
for a donation of 15 XOs to begin<BR> this
programme.<BR><BR> Although we are grateful for the 2 XOs already
provided, to get the<BR> most out of the computors and the
children we need additional, allowing<BR> each child opportuntiy
to share the
experience.</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>
