Few weeks ago ... I had a chance to explore laptop.org from an email and finally join their support-team. This organization reminded me of our SFC service Gawad Kalinga (To give care)which give homes and care to the homeless. The OLPC (One laptop per child)organization is also a non-profit organization which I believed will open doors to many young kids around the world...in which they'll have a chance to gain new skills and perspective.
This was so timely for me, I was really looking for something productive to spend my time with, on the other hand it's with my interest and also, to where I can use my experience both in the academe and Information Technology. Truly the evolution of learning now is way too far compare when I was just starting to learn. :) The techno era and culture now brings so much opportunities for children to learn more and help them to think out of the box, not only that they have a chance to collaborate with out spending much or going anywhere. In which, the way laptop.org's mission caught my attention, I always believe in service, learning and technology. I'm fascinated how people now unselfishly share their time, talents and work collaboratively for a cause. OLPC (One Laptop per Child) uses Open Source software and have a tremendous community that supports its program and projects. I've always been fascinated by people who are engaged in this kind of activity -- where in they share and strengthen the capacity of different people through their unique talents and experiences.
What's in the XO laptop? A full of spectrum of activities and knowledge! That will bring a new perspective to every child in a developing country.
I'm excited to this new service and opportunity!
Everyone is welcome to participate!
