Dear Members & Friends
*Your support are sought on OLPC project! *
One Laptop per Child (OLPC), The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups
(HKFYG), and Communications Association of Hong Kong (CAHK) will organize
the 'One Laptop per Child' Project.
The Project intends to give children from Primary 1 to 6 in Hong Kong who
are from low-income families/ from families without accessibility to the use
computer/Internet and who are also attending the After School Care Program
(ASCP) at HKFYG's Youth S.P.O.Ts (youth centers), access and usage of the
OLPC laptops for learning. They will be allowed to borrow the laptop and
take it home for self-learning, while also receiving trainings by the
Association on how to use the technology throughout the program.
We strongly believe that this meaningful Project could help school-aged
children, and those from disadvantaged families in particular, to engage and
learn effectively with their own personal laptop, networked to the world,
which is beneficial to their personal growth and sustainable development in
this competitive century.
*The project needs your support on :*
1. Fund Sponsorship to equip computers which cost USD 210 * per unit,
you can choose to sponsor any number of units. *[* the price was advised by
Mr. Anthony Wong, Special Advisor of Innovation and Technology Commission

2. You can also join the volunteers group for providing regular
computer skills and software training to the children, as well as to the
trainers at HKFYG's Youth S.P.O.Ts and parents in the local community.
