Bringing Laptops to the Villages of Peru | The Seattle Times…….
December 24th, 2007
The One Laptop per Child program gives poor, rural children the means to improve themselves, their families,and villages. Isn’t that what Christmas is all about.
Negroponte said 150,000 more laptops will get shipped to countries including Rwanda, Mongolia, Haiti, and Afghanistan in early 2008 through "Give One, Get One," a U.S.-based promotion ending Dec. 31 in which you buy a pair of laptops for $399 and donate one or both.
The children of Arahuay prove One Laptop’s transformative conceit: that you can revolutionize education and democratize the Internet by giving a simple, durable, power-stingy but feature-packed laptop to the worlds’ poorest kids.
