the xo laptop...

"It’s not a laptop project. It’s an education project."

In 2002, MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte experienced first-hand how connected laptops transformed the lives of children and their families in a remote Cambodian village. A seed was planted: If every child in the world had access to a computer, what potential could be unlocked? What problems could be solved? These questions eventually led to the foundation of One Laptop per Child, and the creation of the XO laptop.


OLPC’s mission is to provide a means for learning, self-expression, and exploration to the nearly two billion children of the developing world with little or no access to education. While children are by nature eager for knowledge, many countries have insufficient resources to devote to education—sometimes less than $20 per year per child (compared to an average of $7,500 in the United States). By giving children their very own connected XO laptop, we are giving them a window to the outside world, access to vast amounts of information, a way to connect with each other, and a springboard into their future. And we’re also helping these countries develop an essential resource—educated, empowered children.

leadership seminar == foodtrip

i'm back with nothing in mind... hmmm... retrieving history... ok... last saturday we had our club leadership seminar @ chowking - lacson... it was a success for our club though not all went to attend but definitely the majority was there... we had a discussion about a lot of things, starting from our plans and goals but our main topic was on leadership... we are fortunate to have a group of people who are willing to serve fellow students without boundaries for the sake of our society... it ended as a foodtrip... hahhah... but it was a worth while experience and something that we can really be proud of... congrats CIS officers for a job well done... keep it up guys... ok... need to go back to work... peace people!...
