Give a little, Get a little.
The 2009 Rural Design Collective Mentoring Program (RDC) is about to begin – and I am thrilled to announce that we will be part of the One Laptop Per Child Contributors Program (OLPC). Six laptops were sent to Point B Studio by the OLPC as a matching donation to the six that were donated to the local communities near Sixes, Oregon by the RDC over the past two years. We’re going to fill them with public domain books from the Internet Archive Children’s Library and share them with kids!

Have you thought of any followup stories on this project with the kids. Would love to hear their thoughts about having a laptop and so many awesome books.

The primary focus of the core mentoring program during the three summer months is the training of the mentees, and in 2009 our team was definitely focused on development. Outreach and followup sounds like a good focus for 2010.
