An 11th grader, Ngina Shillingford and her classmate, Julia Weber, will today hand over 60 laptops to children of the Salybia Primary School in the Kalinago (Carib) Territory and the Newtown Primary School.
That day will be exactly one year and one month since Ngina and Julia launched a project at their school, Noble and Greenough School, a private school in Massachusetts, to deploy the laptops made by One Laptop per Child (OLPC).
OLPC is a non-profit organization with the goal of giving every child in the developing world, a rugged, useful laptop with which to enhance, supplement, and in some cases provide an education by offering access to the internet and all its educational resources.
The children in Dominica will find that these laptops are easy-to-use, yet extremely powerful.
positive contribution to the children of Dominica, always like to hear about good initiatives
