Spotlighted Items:
A weekend in a B&B on Orcas Island and one at Langley, BC
An OLPC laptop 
This summer, a team of graduate students will bring 100 OLPC laptops to Vutakaka Junior School! OLPC laptops are "A small machine with a big mission. The XO is a potent learning tool designed and built especially for children in developing countries, living in some of the most remote environments. It's about the size of a small textbook. It has built-in wireless and a unique screen that is readable under direct sunlight for children who go to school outdoors. It's extremely durable, brilliantly functional, energy-efficient, and fun."
