中國四川 經過多個月來的努力，我們在中國的第一個項目已開展了。在六月，我們成功地把1000台XO手提電腦送到四川都江堰浦陽小學的孩子手中。在現時經濟環境下籌款實在不容易，而為了達成這個小小的里程碑，我們已幾乎用盡了財政儲備及其他資源。 其實，自2008年11月「每童一電腦」亞太區支部成立以來，我們的義工除了籌款，還為四川這個項目提供了不少支援工作，包括：不辭勞苦地把XO應用程式轉 為簡體中文；與四川的學校合作開發學習活動，並為其教師提供培訓；與當地團體建立合作關係以便開展其他項目；以及與當地義工組織交流溝通，以便我們接觸更 多有需要的孩子。 欲進一步了解「每童一電腦」在四川的首個項目，請按此處瀏覽。 不丹 我們在十月初把250台XO手提電腦送到了不丹，並為首都廷佈市郊的Kuzhugchen社區小學設立了學校伺服器和無線上網設施，小學的學生和來自多家學校的老師參與了共五天的工作坊。 嘗試XO活動和學習平台的學生、老師和官員都非常珍惜這機會。「每童一電腦」亞太區計劃期望能和不丹政府繼續合作，推動不丹成為亞洲首個國家能讓每個學童都擁有一部XO電腦。 相片集: http://www.flickr.asia/photos/cktsoi/sets/72157622587885772/ 最好的禮物： 每童一電腦  世界可改變 我們衷心感謝所有曾經支持我們的善長和義工。現時，中國和亞洲其他地區還有很多兒童急切需要您的幫助。每一台XO在每個孩童手上，就是通往世界、改變未來之 門。請慷慨捐助，讓我們能把XO電腦送到每一個有需要的孩子手上；並請把這個電郵傳給親友，讓更多人認識及支持這項能改變孩子一生的善舉。 捐款請即登入我們的網址 www.olpc.asia 祝新年進步！ 「每童一電腦」亞太區支部

OLPC APAC in Sichuan China After months of hard work, we successfully deployed 1000 XO laptops this June  for the needy children of Pu Yang Primary School in Sichuan China.  It has been really very difficult raising funds amidst the current economic environment.  In achieving this minor milestone, we have almost depleted our finances and have used up our resources. Since November 2008, in addition to raising funds, our volunteers have been diligently fine tuning the conversion software to adapt the XO applications to simplified Chinese; developing educational activities with the local school in Sichuan; training their teachers; establishing cooperation with local organizations that will help support the OLPC project in Sichuan; and forming liaisons with other local volunteering agencies to help us reach a wider network of children who will benefit from future deliveries of XOs. You are invited to learn more about our first ever deployment in China at our website. OLPC APAC in Bhutan Early October 2009, OLPC APAC delivered 250 XOs to the remote mountainous empire of Bhutan.  At the rural Kuzhugchen Community Primary School, the OLPC APAC team of volunteers was able to set up a school server with Wi-Fi Internet connection in addition to training both teachers and students for five days. The XO was very well received by all the students, teachers and government officials.  We hope to work with the Bhutanese government to achieve the goal of Bhutan being the first country in Asia to provide all its primary school students with an XO. Learn more about our work in Bhutan here. Help Us Change the World We are really grateful to all the donors who have given us their support and all the volunteers who have tirelessly donated their time and effort into making this possible.  However, this is really a minute percentage of the children who desperately needs our help.  Each XO placed in a child’s hand gives him or her an opportunity to connect to the world thus changing his or her future for the better Please continue to support us and help realize our goal of delivering a XO laptop to all the needy children in Asia.  Please donate generously. Help us spread the awareness of our cause and forward this appeal to your friends.  Please visit us at www.oplc.asia and donate today.
