We lost electricity for a period this afternoon and found ourselves at a loss without Internet access. Om ji kindly volunteered his camera for some team photos. Since the OLE Nepal team spends so much time together and has come so far, it was the perfect moment to document how much we've grown. With Nepal's OLPC pilot set to start on April 13th, we have a lot of work ahead of us.
