Deploying Volunteers
You may have read Rabi’s recent post about the formative evaluation of our test schools Vishwamitra Ganesh and Bashuki.

Our current plan is to expand from one district to five districts (equivalent to a state of province) and roughly 10-15 schools. Technical support for our current two schools within driving distance of the office has not been particularly challenging or time-consuming. However, supporting schools in five distinct regions of Nepal poses a tremendous challenge.

One of the key things that we needed to localize was the name of the laptop itself. This has happened in an unexpected manner.
