Do you want to own $100 laptop? yea I'm not lying it just cost $100. Unfortunately this laptop only suitable for children.
The laptop that develop by the OLPC(One laptop per child)- Social Welfare Organisation are develop special for children who live n developing country especially. The main reason for this project is to provide children with access to knowledge.
In order to change and to improve welfare in the developing country we need to start from the beginning. To change and improving current situation in developing country especially, is not an easy task and should be start somewhere. That why this OLPC introduced.
We need to help the children in the developing country to change their country.
We shouldn't change their country by our own hands (like what happen in Iraq) but we can teach them how to change their country by themselves as they are the one who are expert about their country and culture.
We shouldn't change their country by our own hands (like what happen in Iraq) but we can teach them how to change their country by themselves as they are the one who are expert about their country and culture. Aid organisation cannot provide aid help forever so the current situation in developing country especially famine and diseases need to be reduce and improved.
Remember you can help them by providing/donating foods, drinks and even money but please think for how long? for how many person? and is it forever?
You and me know the answer, we cannot feed them forever. We need to teach them a technique or skill so that they can live forever.
"you can give a person a fish and he can survive for a day but if you teach him how to fish, he can survive for a lifetime'
But how?
It's really simple. EDUCATION
power of Education can change person's mind
, 
even can change country and world.
even can change country and world.So by providing laptop, children can access world beyond thew control in a cheaper way.. This cheaper laptop are provided with Internet access ability through wireless. So children can learns education anywhere, anytime any topic and free.
Education is not a privilege but for everyone.
To make a change money are require
We can't change the term above but we can make it success by thinking a proper, cheaper but a success plan.
We know in order to make a change, we need to introduce something but usually to make a change, a lots of money will be involve. This is the reason why only small changes of improvement are success in the developing country. Only few family can change their standard way of living by taking risk of borrowing money so their children can study further.
Everybody knows how powerful is the power of Education. But to have education, money are required, that why, a lots of parents in developing country doesn't really support their children to have Education, they don't want to take risk to invest in education that only give return after long times. At the end, we see once again , the children that suppose to be at school are seen in the field or sea, helping their parents.
We need to start from the children itself The new generation should be expose to borderless world of Education. we should give them portable laptop so they can have education and they can sharp their skill in free of charge of worldwide Education network.
