# Sugar Labs will be working to set up a small (5-30 unit) Sugar pilot near each student project that is accepted to GSoC so that you can immediately see how your work affects children in a deployment. We will make arrangements to either supply or find all the equipment needed. Do you have any ideas on where you would like your deployment to be, who you would like to be involved, and how we can help you and the community in your area begin it?

#*I live in Shanghai, where there are many special elementary schools for children whose parents are immigrant workers(people who used to work as farmers and then went to big cities to seek opportunities of earning more money). In those schools, they don't have much modern teaching facilities and most of the students come from the poorest families in the city. I think those schools are where the deployment could be since most of them are in the best age for starting language learning but lack the facilities.

# Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.
 
# Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.
#*When I was a child, here in China many children of the same age were forced by their parents to attend extra courses on weekends in order to get better grades at school and be more competitive to others. However, my parents did not do that to me. Instead, they just let me choose whatever I wanted to do. And my favorite choice was going to the local library. From there I read lots of interesting books, but more importantly it helped me form a habit of reading extensively and through reading my sight was largely broadened. I really wanted to thank my parents for letting me learn things in my own ways rather than attending those boring and meaningless weekend classes. That made me know how to read and then think deeply and independently, which I found was the basis for team working with others in my later studies.
