Please add my skype name "hfchiao" if you are interested. I am not always on skype. Please email me first if you want to talk.

Besides relying on sponsored cell phones for more remote and primitive schools, we are sure we can use the Internet for teaching for some schools. Some affected schools already promised that they will let us use their pc labs, which are equipped with Internet access.

We spent over a month building connections with officials, kids, schools, volunteers, etc. We got several hundred volunteers and several hundred kids/orphans who have expressed initial interest to participate. We just need the drupal system to be up so they could start entering data there. In fact, the data entry part (now primitively implemented using the profile module) is already working. We can start collecting data anytime while we are improving the system.

Eventually we want to help every single school, a total of 10,000 of them, 7,000 of which collapsed.

Step 1 has now been completed using a combination of Nodeprofile/Nodefamily/AutoAssignRoll instead of the profile module.

Step 3 has been designed and one of us might be able to implement it soon:

Three modules are used:

1. Node Profile
2. Nodevote 5.x-1.0

3. Userpoints 5.x-3.7

Thanks for all of your great help. The first version of our site is working now based on the specs in http://sichuanteachers.org/index.php?title=Drupal

Please visit https://match.sichuanteachers.org either help to fix bugs in the bug tracking systems there, or pledge to be a Sichuan Teacher to mentor/teach the kids. Please note the site is not officially open yet but we will take a few more people before it is officially open in a week perhaps.
