Rwanda:  Balton Eyes One Laptop Per Child Project

,----[ Quote ]
| Recently MTN Rwanda selected Wavion and 
| Balton Uganda for the deployment of a large

A new OLPC deployment in Nigeria

,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this month, I found myself embarking on a last-minute
| journey to a One Laptop per Child workshop in Port Harcourt,
| Nigeria. They are preparing for a 6000 XO laptop deployment in
| that region of the country. I attended to support the 5-day
| event, which was coordinated by Michael Tempel and Claudia
| Urrea.

Can a laptop change the world?

,----[ Quote ]
| Rwanda has now ordered more than 100,000 XO laptops and plans
| to roll them out to as many schools as possible, with part of
| the funding coming from the sale of mobile phone licences.
| Finally, OLPC has found an African country which appears to be
| committed to going beyond a pilot and making the laptops an
| integral part of its education system
