Distribution Idea

The new laptops could be distributed by medical doctors as a gift when children receive a particular vaccination shot. Assuming that the medical doctors would be honest about it, this distribution system would ensure that the laptops are picked up by children; a black market situation or hoarding could be avoided.

This idea could fit with the idea to use American Peace Corps Volunteers. Here, it would be the Peace Corps doctors who distribute the laptops.

However, I think local doctors could probably do the job, too.

Next question: How to ensure that the laptops get delivered to doctors? How could the problem be solved of laptops getting stolen immediately upon their arrival at a central distribution center (e.g. airport)? (I've heard and read that AIDS medication sent to one country from another is often stolen along the way and sold on a black market by gangsters or quasi-government groups.)
