#*First, I am capable of doing the project. I have had many computer science courses in university and have the programming experience in Python. Here is some of my work before.(If you want the source code or related screenshots please feel free to email me and I will be very happy to send them to you:)

#**Fingers-to-9 ("http://fingers-to9.appspot.com/") - A small game originally written in PyGTK due to my personal interests. And later on I re-wrote it in Java to put it on the "Google App Engine" so that my friends who do not have Python and GTK installed can also play it online.

#**MobileRave - An application written in PyS60(Python for S60) to prevent RSI(repetitive strain injury) caused by consistent use of mobile phones. I submitted it to participate in "Nokia CallingAllInnovators" event.[[Image:Scr000010.jpg|thumb|right|MobileRave - An application written in PyS60(Python for S60) to prevent RSI(repetitive strain injury) caused by consistent use of mobile phones.]]

#*Second, I have the time to do the project. I am an undergraduate student now and I do not have the burden of other heavy research work in the summer. And I am always enthusiastic about coding own creative stuff.

#*Third, I was brought up in an ordinary family in a developing country. I used to experience the lack of language learning tools. I also do some language tutoring work for some elementary school students on weekends. All those make me know the society of developing countries well and what kind of help those kids there need most.  
#*Most importantly, I really like open-source and regard the OLPC plan a wonderful and meaningful thing to do. After enjoying so much from the open-source communities and going through a little difficult childhood, I want make my own contributions to the open-source world as well as making other children's life better.

After enjoying so much from the open-source communities and going through a little difficult childhood, I want make my own contributions to the open-source world as well as help other kids who really need the help. I always regard the value of one's life as making the whole world and other people's life better, and this project is just a great way to fulfill that.
