Children in third world countries need access to safe (clean) drinking water, enough food, shelter, adequate clothing for the season, medical care, sanitation (latrines instead of fields or ditches), basic education... not a laptop computer!
These are going to be hot items for black marketeers, with children or their families likely being robbed and/or killed for a laptop, or what parent wouldn't sell it on their own to feed their child! (see story link) http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20061224/lf_afp/thailandeducation
I hope this story is a joke. I've BEEN to several places listed on the link, and the last thing these children need is a laptop.
I vote for _a LAP for every child_, not a laptop.
You?
