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'''! It is the largest educational project undertaken by Humanity ever, and deemed by many as one of the most inspiring projects out there. 2008, saw the first countries with a 100% roll out to all of their kids aged 5 till 15: Peru, Uruguay. Several [[Island States]] have a 100% deployment too; [[Rwanda]], [[Australia]], [[Cameroon]] are following at fast pace too. Every XO can load over 100 ebooks on its memory and has a choice of over 86.000 [[eBooks]] available, as well as many (educational) games, all education disciplines covered, etc. etc.. things are moving fast indeed.

Belgium 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 Belgium will benefit from these citizens with one leg in Belgium 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.

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-community -, open-hardware - and open-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! It is the largest educational project undertaken by Humanity ever, and deemed by many as one of the most inspiring projects out there. 2008, saw the first countries with a 100% roll out to all of their kids aged 5 till 15: Peru, Uruguay. By now, several Island States and Rwanda have a 100% deployment too; several more countries and regions have olpc laboratories and test deployments, and several school networks in the USA and Australia are following at fast pace too.

Every XO can load over 1000 eBooks on its memory and has a choice of +86.000 eBooks available, as well as many (educational) games, all education disciplines covered, etc. etc.. things are moving fast indeed.

Although OLPC has not opened any legal OLPC Belgium entity in Belgium, Belgium does host the European Headquarters of OLPC in the magnificent surroundings at the befriended SWIFT company near Brussels.

Belgium 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 Belgium will benefit from these citizens with one leg in Belgium 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.
