Well we’ve got two choices here, we can keep them uneducated but semi-well fed, living in squalor and dependant on people whom many of which couldn’t really care less about the longterm well being of the people they claim to want to help.
OR as we feed them we can at least make some effort to inspire them to use their brains and find their own ways of providing for themselves, leading to the day when they won’t need any help. This project is just one step towards that, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

Hello I live in Nigeria and I happen to have a free XO laptop thanks to the OLPC project. First of all I would like to thank everybody who participates in this wonderful project, that allows us children, living here in the 3rd World to gain access to the Internet and learn more about the world itself. Thank you for creating this project and God bless you. I hope that soon every child living in poor countries such as Nigeria will have the opportunity to use this great educational tool. Thank you!

The Laptop is not for Hacking other people’s computers. Please don’t use this laptop for that purpose, if you really do that you are misusing a laptop designed for kids

I don’t understand why people always have those food donations and such for poor countries, why can’t they get their own food like all the other countries in the world?
(Report comment)
cuz we’re mining their place is one reason and importing food from them. screws their soil.
but ultimately because they aren’t developed and theres too many people so not enough food to go around

this is a very good idea and i really hope to hear more about it in the future. i can’t imagine it being very powerful but then again that doesn’t really matter

what adult in a 3rd world country is gonna give their kid this thing? so they can go online an do stuff that doesn’t matter? serisouly think about it…they need to make it for adults the small keyboard is rediculous…put a radio in it or a cell phone or something that would be a major bonus…
