[OLPC_Boston] One Laptop per Child in Vietnam

[Sean Laurence]

Hello OLPC Boston,

I wanted to share this article I wrote. It's about OLPC in Vietnam. There's
a 5 minute video at the end. Good stuff!

This is the first paragraph:

*"Imagine you are sitting on your comfy couch watching TV. You decide to
tune in to 60 Minutes. They are talking about a non profit organization that
is on the way to bring a low cost laptop to children in developing
countries. You think that is a great idea and decide to learn more. Fast
forward two years later and you are in the middle of a floating fishing
village in Ha Long Bay in Northeast Vietnam. You have started a project to
bring a number of these laptops to the only school in the village. While you
are there you are tackling a variety of speed bumps that arise. These range
from relatively easy to extremely challenging. As the days pass you can see
the joy in the children and adults of the village. You realize that you have
made a difference and changed their lives. You have changed their world for
the better."*
