> http://laptop.org/manual created by deeply dedicated OLPC/Sugar
> volunteers, and very soon to be translated to Kreyol for Haitian kids
> (aged 5 to 95) thanks to the coordination of some Heroic people in
> NYC's Haitian community especially. So these exact same 5-year olds
> might remember their little community guide to a more
> creative-collaborative 21st century, if not the elders who wrote it
> back in 2010 -- when these kids turn 95 too. No matter how high the
> oceans in that year when that next (22nd) century quickly arrives...
