One advocacy of mine is to increase the use and popularity of FOSS in my country because I believe that FOSS offers a way to bring down gatekeepers and democratize opportunities especially for those in the marginalized sectors of society. I believe that one way to achieve this is by teaching kids about FOSS, letting them use and appreciate it, and instilling in them the ideals of openness. It's very rare to see schools and kids in my country use FOSS. Personally, I only became introduced to Linux and FOSS when I entered university so I think that there's a great opportunity here to introduce FOSS to kids and young people. I've read about the FLOSS Desktop for Kids initiative that you've done and I think something similar would do wonders here in my country.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">With that said, I'd like to ask for your permission if I can use and edit the FLOSS Desktop for Kids curriculum for use here in the Philippines. Also, although I'm not quite sure if this is the best place to ask, if you happen to know of any opportunities on how/where I can get support or funding for this initiative, I'd be grateful if you can point me to them.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Thank you very much.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Sincerely,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Ben Hur</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>---</div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:small;font-family:monospace,monospace">Ben Hur S.
