OLPC, XO, Children, Community and me
thoughts and experiences
15th August, 2007 - 60 years of Indian Independence
I went back with my XO to the NGO in Delhi with whom I had been actively involved with Amba Foundation .
Some photographs -
15th August was India's 60th Independence Day. Kids from the Mandawali Faizalpur slum clusters celebrated it at their school at Amba Foundation
Although , through grateful donations from donors, Amba has a few old computers
The XO caught their imagination like anything! I just told them to see what the eye does...
The XO, unlike the other computers at the center, allowed them to capture their friends performing in the function. Rahul, age 8 has been dressed up as Lord Krishna
Rahul was then dressed up as a Muslim and then as Gandhi. Unity and diversity and equality of all religions and communities was celebrated. Indian spirit is a true reflection of such unity within diversity - everything was captured by kids with the help of the XO
