Yechalal! ...... Awoooooooo .....Yechalal! - Amxambe

The One Laptop per Child Foundation is a nonprofit founded by Professor Nicholas Negroponte of MIT and Chairman Emeritus of the MIT Media Lab. OLPC is an amazing organization which strives to put one laptop in the hands of every primary school student in the world.

Currently in Ethiopia they have a pilot program which is designed to see how effective the XO laptops are in Ethiopia and if they should be rolled out en masse.

A successful program of OLPC is the "Give 1 Get 1" (G1G1) program where people were able to purchase a XO laptop from OLPC and another one would be sent to a child who needs it. Folks who participated in G1G1 also had the option of saying "hey, just send my laptop to the kids as well."

Nicholas has used Amharic keyboard for his demo to wow me..... it was really cool thing to hear my mother toung got a developed keyboard!

My hope is on next Gen.......
