Some okplayers have said that they are teachers or are otherwise involved with children and schools. I've mentioned a time or two that I know of a private foundation that works with schools to create computer labs that are specifically designed to enhance literacy.

Here's a link to some info on that foundation:

One way that this could be approached is if one of our okpeeps who's involved with a school is willing to promote it to the schools and offer our support in meeting the challenge grant. That way, we don't have to get involved with creating a tax-exempt fund (which can itself be costly) and, just using this foundation as an example -- they pay all the administrative costs so we know that 100% of what we give goes directly to pay for computers for the school.

So if this sounds like a good idea, the tricky part is to find a school that's willing to work to raise whatever money we don't raise. I've actually seen the results of this program, and it's amazing how fast the little ones pick up reading skills.

Just a thought.

Peace.
