Hi Jon I am on the mailing list for OLPC and received your letter below. I have just last week arrived to live in Boracay and I intend staying here for the foreseeable future (5 years?). Back in Australia I ran the Church of All Nations community Support Agency in Carlton Victoria, which included a computer recycling project supplying ex government machines ( 1500 of them) to recently arrived refugee communities. Plus training and technical support. Also I ran a Family Learning Program for Horn of African refugees.
I am not a specialist IT person but have good management skills and recognise the importance of Providing access to the digital world for low income people, especially kids. Is there anything I can do in Boracay to help with your project? are there any proposals for this area? I have previously had discussions with the local Rotary here and have some links to local schools. I am hoping to start a homework club here using tourists as volunteer tutors please keep me in touch regards Stephen Dobson Sent from my iPad On 2 May, 2012, at 2:40 PM, Jon Mannion <jmannion_2...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Thanks for your interest in Constructing learning through Technology (CLT) > > We are growing fast with donations of computers growing beyond expectations. > We have new centers opening up and we are thankful to folks like you who can > help us meet our mission. > > We have 8 centers, some are in Taytay, others in Pasay, Ortegas, one in > Malate and one in Paranaque in San Dionicio.
