A terrible terrible assumption!

The less fortunate kids need laptops!....

To all you less fortunate well-wishers....

You need, more than your goodwill....a BIGGER, DEFINITE perspective...

I respect your intentions but not your ignorance...

A terrible, terrible assumption.

I think, with all respect you miss the point.

This program as far as we are concerned is not about the laptops per se,

but about the educational potential and development of the children.

We work in Malawi in the educational field and are very excited at the prospects

offered by this scheme. We very much work in the real world and at the sharp end,

the potential for the children and thus for their communities is immense.

The future for these countries and their peoples must lie in their own hands, this

can only be acheived through education, not just for the privileged, but for all.
