Rwanda aims for one laptop per child

Low-cost laptops have now reached children in 31 developing nations, including Rwanda.

The One Laptop Per Child program (OLPC) launched in Rwanda in October with the aim of providing computer access to the countrys 2.3 million schoolchildren. President Paul Kagame has supported the program and efforts to expand schooling and educational resources in the country.
Worldfocus correspondent Martin Seemungal travels to Rwamagana, Rwanda — once a site of the countrys 1994 genocide, now the site of technological transformation.

@ultimatetoturial56 how is it lame? its specially designed for children in third world countries, its non profit...unlike apple and the macbook which appeals to a a completely different demographic....These kids are very poor too, if anything your comment is highly ignorant and stupid. I say this as an apple shareholder, and someone who strongly supports this initiative
