The One Laptop Per Child Association, Inc. (OLPC) is a U.S. non-profit organization set up to oversee the creation of an affordable educational device for use in the developing world. Its mission is "To create educational opportunities for the world’s poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning." Its current focus is on the development, construction and deployment of the XO-1 laptop.
The organization is led by chairman Nicholas Negroponte, and Charles Kane, President and Chief Operating Officer. OLPC is a 501(c)(3) organization registered in Delaware, USA and is funded by member organizations, including AMD, Brightstar Corporation, eBay, Google, Marvell, News Corporation, SES, Nortel Networks, and Red Hat. Each company has donated two million dollars.
OLPC has generated a great deal of interest in the Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D), in education and one to one computing fields of research.

Galactic Emperor,
Humanly, It’s a great idea, but I just want you to think about Palestinian kids that are afraid to go to their schools ! What an Apartheid era.
Kids swimming in happiness and money, ad kids fighting to live.
Ya, it’s Hamas fault…lol
I think it is an excellent Christian sponsored idea.
Many third world countries like Israel will benefit from this a great deal.
I truly wish our Jewish friends will keep their minds busy, trying to figure a way of "opening the little green box" and an eon to get it booting into Linux.
This way our Palestinian friends will be harassed less, saving thus precious children’s lives.
I would like to see some Hebrew games included with this shipment of silica as well. Like "Hide behind the 3 year old shield" or "Unreal White Phosphorus Tournament" or "The Hague is not enough".
Greetings

Libya is a part of that as well. My little bro got a laptop from his school. It isn’t really fancy or anything, it’s quite small. It’s a good idea though, educating these kids. A light of hope amongst the problems in the Middle East.
