I have read somewhere else :- 


 

In a bid to boost the numbers of laptops available, OLPC ran a "Give One, Get One" programme in the US from 12 November to 31 December 2007. 
 

This allowed members of the public to buy two XO machines - one for themselves and one for a OLPC project elsewhere. 
 

OLPC said the success of this had helped it to launch programmes in Haiti, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Mongolia, and Afghanistan. 

Questions :-
1). How were these countries choosen ? 
2). Maybe - why was SA not in the list ? 
3). What is it that we need to do in order to be recepients ? 

Just wondering ! 
Lungi.
