The aim of this educational project, is on one hand to bring Universal Primary Education by 2015 as - anno year 2000 initiated - '''United Nations [[Millennium Development Goal]] nr.2'''. On the other hand, OLPC's mission is to manage the open hard and software project, to bring forward the best possible laptop combination for education: the [[XO-XServer combination]]. For this and above approach, - and also a lot of lobbying by the right persons on the right places and time - '''the United Nations is a Partner in this Open Community project'''!

Haiti is a very multi-cultural society with a very diverse diaspora. We hope that this diaspora will work their way to these pages and that society in Haiti will benefit from these citizens with one leg in Haiti and another still in their countries of origin to develop leadership for OLPC, [[Agenda 21]], the [[MDG's]] and accelerate bringing the level that our planet can be a nice place for all humans to new and inspiring heights for generations to come.
