    *Sunday July 18 - Eleven Years Deploying Computers in South African
    Schools*
    By Alan Field & Donna Wainwright, in person at OLPC in Cambridge, MA.
    Alan and Donna will discuss what has succeeded and what has failed
    in providing old Macs for students in 30 township and rural schools
    in South Africa. They will describe how the needs of economically
    stressed communities challenge our Western assumptions about how
    things will work.  Come learn some tough and vital lessons about the
    place of technology in education as South Africa strives to build a
    successful post-apartheid nation. To visualize their school settings
    better, first look at pictures at: http://tinyurl.com/7v36p8
