The one laptop per child foundation believes that empowering children in developing nations by providing them with laptops in their schools and networking them with the rest of the world can help these children advance their own societies.
The OLPC Association focuses on designing, manufacturing and distributing XO laptops to children in lesser developed countries.
Besides providing the laptops of course, there must be a program to educate the children and teachers on how to use this as a tool for learning. ULPC formed a team to work with countries to develop their own learning teams. The goal is to help each country develop a deeper understanding and richer practice in using laptops for learning. The first workshops in countries will be in Ethiopia, Ghana, Rwanda and Nigeria during October 2007.
