I have started a club at Masconomet called the Global Initiative Volunteers (GIV) Club, which focuses on introducing high school students to international philanthropy. Our current mission is to raise funds for the personal delivery of 100 XO Laptops to students in Africa. We hope to deliver the laptops to a school (potentially in Ghana) in February 2011. Our goal is to donate about 100 XO laptops to the school and to personally teach the students and teachers how to use them, including repair techniques. <br /> I understand that your group has undergone the deployment of XO laptops. As our deployment is going to be powered by solar power in a village where there is no previous internet access, I would like ask you how you accomplished setting up the internet. Any advice or method, along with the cost of maintaining the internet connection would extremely helpful to organizing our deployment to Africa.

When we do training programs at the Chef we first plan what we how we want the Consultants to think, how we want them to feel and what we want them to do. After we define that, we develop our objectives to meet the think, feel know criteria. It's fun developing training, isn't it. Of course, I'm doing adult training and you're doing children, which is I'm sure a much different ballgame. Even though you haven't had much formal (any?) training in this, you're doing great. I love the pictures of the kids and especially treasure the ones of you.<br /><br />Na, Kathy and I head to C'dale for Eric Crippen's wedding on Wednesday. Can't wait to have some of G'ma's ham salad! Maybe we'll go to Giant City after church on Sunday.<br /><br />We had a great church service today at Calvary. A prof from Moody taught a second lesson on Psalms. This one was on Psalm 76 and it was titled "When Good Things Happen to Bad People" and how God's people respond to the seeming unfairness. The basic answer is to workship God (instead of doubting or abandoning Him) and trust that His justice will prevail.<br /><br />Mer, Rea and Pat headed up to Minnesota for two weeks vaca before she starts her job. Haven't heard from Hill, but Tini should have arrived on Saturday, so I'm sure they're busy getting her settled in.<br /><br />Love you, my dear son. xoxo<br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510803049123638603.post-49578831289585845122009-07-26T11:34:04.953-05:002009-07-26T11:34:04.953-05:00I want to but the grad students and Martin planned...I want to but the grad students and Martin planned with another guide to go the week after I leave.Michael Steinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563928598184049542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510803049123638603.post-32653204199514860412009-07-26T06:54:11.180-05:002009-07-26T06:54:11.180-05:00What an adventure.
