FAQ from Teachers in Lao PDR

  • Will this laptop be available in Laos?
  • How will the teachers be trained?
  • Which age of children is the laptop for? (5-10,10-15,15-graduade)?
  • My sallary is 20$ in one month and I have 4 children. How can I pay 100$ per kid?
  • Does it also work with 220V Socket without cranking?
  • Does the teachers get the PC before the children get one?
  • Is this project only for rich countries like Thailand and China?
  • Is there a phone hotline where I can get more infos about this project?

Other questions

  • Is there a contact to the Lao PDR government?
  • Who will translate things to Lao language - there is no big open source community?
  • The Lao PDR government does not have much money. To sell wood from primary forests maybe is the only possibility to finance this project. Are there alternatives?
  • To build the education infrastruction for OLPC may take a long time - when does this task starts? Isn't that more time critical then the hardware?
