Dear Jane, I work with Save the Children in La Paz, Bolivia. My team is preparing to launch an ambitious initiative in education using information and communication technology (ICT). We are preparing the 1st edition of an innovative and participative IT curriculum for Save the Children's program for adolescent development called Tomando Decisiones or "Making Decisions". The program's traditional focuses are sexual and reproductive health, vocational orientation, and leadership skills. The technology curriculum will be used by teachers in partner organizations that have computer labs in El Alto, the satellite city of La Paz and also one of the poorest areas in the hemisphere. Although, we have our own methodology that blends ICTs with traditional focus areas such as the arts and sciences and holistic focuses such as creativity and self-esteem, Edubuntu will provide a new dynamic to the training. We are encouraged to see that there are people who share the same philosophy for education as we do. We plan to contribute as much as possible to the development and replication of our curriculum and Edubuntu in Bolivia. Save the Children has a strong influence in the country and we have funding and resources to significantly improve education for those in need. Thanks for supporting this cause. We hope to work as much as possible to promote Edubuntu. Sincerely, Seth Seth S.
