  • Upper Canada College, Toronto took laptops and solar panels to Ntugi Day Secondary School in Kenya, now collaborate shared curriculum http://tinyurl.com/yhqpsv4
  • East African Community Secretariat 10 Yr Anniversary Involves OLPC #OLPC (QUESTIONABLE ASPECTS, FACT CHECK FIRST) http://www.eac.int/component/content/320.html?task=view
    All of the detail about OLPC is wrong here. We will be participating in those events; speaking on the 20th; but we haven't received details about the campaign, and the quote about the laptop cost and donation matching were apparently extrapolated from G1G1 2007 text?? without contacting us.
  • XO Laptop (picture of Walter) as one of 7 inventions that are changing the world.
