On our last team call, we had a big problem: Lucille had received a bunch more Intel paraphernalia: speakers, keyboards, and more! It was basically enough to fill a whole other suitcase. \u201cHow am I going to fit all these things,\u201d she sighed. #firstworldproblems. In the end, she did what she could and is the first one of the team who is on her way while the rest of us frantically pack and check things off our list\u2026
\nBug spray, Intel sunglasses, Hydration tablets, check, check, check. When it seems like we\u2019ve thought of everything there\u2019s always one more thing we forget to pack.
\nLike any other trip, I\u2019ll probably forget something, but hopefully it\u2019ll be: \u201cI forgot a hair tie,\u201d not \u201cI forgot my passport!\u201d
\nShoot\u2026 did I pack enough underwear? Maybe one more, just in case\u2026<\/em>
\nAt some point you just have to stop and look up, make sure you\u2019ve got your wallet and passport. The rest is replaceable.
\nLike me, most of my team members have been packing in the past week, running around to stores to buy that last item for our IESC (Intel Education Service Corps) trip to the Philippines.
\nWe\u2019ve gotten our vaccines, rounded up equipment, gear, made lesson plans, and asked for tips from the past two teams who have gone before us. We\u2019re 100% ready, confident (right?), and excited to go. But also a little nervous, mostly about the little things. But what if my bag weighs 50.5 pounds, I hope I don\u2019t have to pay extra!<\/em>
\nOver the next two and a half weeks, I will be covering the IESC project where six Intel employees including myself will be traveling to the Philippines to educate in digital literacy and inspire children whose whole world was literally uprooted 2.5 years ago by Typhoon Haiyan. Since then, Intel has sponsored to rebuild their school building in Tacloban, and we\u2019re the third group going back to give them technological immersion and digital training.
\nLately, Intel has received a lot of negative media with the layoffs affecting employees worldwide, but the company still finds it important to support this type of high social impact project. My team and I are ecstatic about being able to participate. While we\u2019re on the ground, I will be publishing stories, pictures, and media via the following outlets:
