Life in a Day: Abel and his laptop

Life in a Day asks 'what do you love?' Abel, who lives in Peru, loves his laptop. It has become his window to the world, offering a glimpse of things he wouldn't otherwise be exposed to. Abel got the computer through One Laptop Per Child, a nonprofit offering inexpensive laptops designed for children in developing countries.

Life in a Day is now playing in select US theaters: facebook.com/lifeinaday.

I saw this film about a year ago, and I've not forgotten this kid. This kid is why I contribute to Wikipedia.

Este Pequeñito es Hincha como yo del Mejor Equipo del Peru "Universitario" :)
