One Laptop Per Child Laptops Bound for Haiti

One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is dispatching specially “ruggedized” versions of its low-cost, low-power, Linux-running XO laptops to aid and reconstruction groups working to aid the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. The nonprofit organization, whose laptops are in the hands more than 1.4 million children in 35 countries, is working with several groups and is looking for many more that can leverage its work. “Genuinely committed groups” are invited to submit requests and explain their need for XO laptops by e-mailing help@laptop.org
