OLPC Rwanda

Rwanda, in central Africa, is best known as the site of a genocide, and is thus often thought of as a political and economic basket case. However, the current administration of President Paul Kagame has embraced ICT as the key to his country's future. In particular, there is a Rwandan distribution of Linux in development, in their local language, Kinyarwanda. The President has recently said that all Rwandan schools should be networked by 2013 and equipped with standard ICT tools and well trained facilitators. (Reported in The New Times of Kigali)
