One Laptop Per Child Program (OLPC)

In this contest I see the project OLPC as the best social service project in this era. The project is initiated by Prof.Nickalas Negroponet who engage in Mesunset technical institute. His objective is to have a computer for each and every child in the world. The mission of this non-profit association (One Laptop Per Child) is to develop a low-cost laptop - the "$100 Laptop". A technology that could revolutionize how we educate the world's children. Their goal is to provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves. To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning. This is a new way of teaching other children to be educated in easier way and to provide them with access to knowledge.
