== [[Disassembly]] == |
|||
See: [[Disassembly]] for 1.0 details. The main difference for this 1.5 is the keyboard, which comes out with the two screws under the battery sliders on the base. [[Special:Contributions/18.85.46.242|18.85.46.242]] |

* Save the Children (they're helping run the UN Education Cluster) |
|||
* USAID |
|||
* SOS Children's Villages |
|||
* World Bank (and the Inter-American Development Bank, in LatAm) |
|||
=== Relevant data === |

|||
* Census stats relating to children (cf. Wikipedia's country template & World Factbook data) |

|||
== Nice timeline == |
|||
Don't forget to summarize and final work you hope to have in place or things you want to learn from groups here, while working on whitepapers.
