OLPC Review.

"One Laptop Per Child"

OLPC, or One Laptop Per Child is an organization which donates specialized laptops to children around the world, allowing them to explore the internet from wherever they are. Websites can be found here and here.

"The laptop was designed collaboratively by experts from both academia and industry, bringing to bear both extraordinary talent and many decades of collective field experience for every aspect of this nonprofit humanitarian project."

And now we as a class have decided that we will all donate in order to get 1 laptop by donating anything from $5 or more.
