Five years ago, Peru plunked down $200 million on more than 800,000 low-cost 
laptops to distribute to schoolchildren. The purchase was part of the global 
One Laptop Per Child initiative that aimed to end poverty with computers.

But now there are a lot of questions about how successful Peru's effort has 
been, especially in rural areas like the village of Lacachi.
