OCPL: One Child Per Laptop

One Laptop Per Child is a non-profit organization, founded by Nicholas Negroponte, which provides children in third world countries with a laptop so that they can have the ability to gain technological knowledge. In addition, these laptops can be a light source for the children's homes. To operate these laptops, there is a crank on the side of it. Wind up the crank, and the laptop can operate up to 10 hours. Also, the program makes sure that the laptop goes into the hands of the child. Personally, I think the OLPC program could be a wonderful way to enrich the lives of the less fortunate and help make the world increasingly interconnected.
