What do you feel about the children going home with their OLPC laptop ?
My feeling is that, with families getting $1 income per day,
temptation will be high to sell the laptop and tell the school it was
lost somewhere...
Also children going home with their laptop could be the target for
thiefs on the way home. In north, in the villages areas some people
can kill for just nothing.
Now there is another risk. Read this :

They can be confronted to adult content and you could get the whole
community against you ! In the school you can always have a teacher
watching.
