:'''2 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?'''

:'''3 Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''
: I've had very few good teachers in school,generally there were teachers who never encouraged queries from children.So,to quench my thirst of knowledge,I usually used to spend time in library,I never used Internet until as long as passing out from HighSchool.I remember my struggle to create a project on Solar System in grade 6,where I had no Internet,no books with colored pictures,so I with the help of my dad got an appointment at National Planetarium,Lucknow's Library and got my project done,for which no wonder,I got A+ :)
:'''4 Is there anything else we should have asked you or anything else that we should know that might make us like you or your project more'''
: No,nothing as such.Just wanted to share an experience while my visit to State Blind School,Lucknow ,I felt that they are much smarter than kids with vision,I saw them operating on normal cell phones as fast as we do,talking confidently as we do,they are hungry for knowledge.In fact,the inspiration of this project,I got from there itself after a kid told one of his problem ,that he wants to know directions on maps ,so that he can be more self dependent.This project will for sure,help millions of kids like him.
