One Laptop Per Child Project

I've been watching the One Laptop Per Child Project for quite a while.. I found it pleasing that the project is continuing and is even expanding to countries outside of Africa according to an article on New Scientist.com.

Initially, I thought the project was odd in that someone was focusing on computers for African children when in many cases those children needed food more than computers. I've had a change of mind after thinking that any needed resource a benefactor can provide is good and trying to work with so many people on a priority for what resources to give, when to provide it, and to whom to give would be a nightmare.
