I have always been interested in this project of educating kids in the rural areas using new technology. Reading about the XO laptops I could imagine exactly how it can be a fit and can benefit kids in my country as I am the product of such environment. I just came back from visiting Botswana and talking to some people that I know who are in the education system there reinforced my believe that I was right this is what is needed to advance the educational system there.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
