Goals
  • Learning Learning

Its an education project, not a

Why?
  • Why not food, medicine, electricity, textbooks?

This is not just a matter of giving a laptop to
each child, as if bestowing on them some magical
charm. The magic lies within - within each child,
within each scientist, scholar, or just plain
citizen in the making
--Kofi Annan
