Sali's Journal: The OLPC XO Goes to Africa - Laptop News by LAPTOP Magazine

LAPTOP Magazine gave One Laptop Per Child's XO computer to Salimata (Sali) Fandjalan, a former Web producer at laptopmag.com. In August of 2007, Sali moved from New York City back to her home country of Mali. While living in the United States she followed One Laptop Per Child's initiative closely and was eager to get her hands on an XO and show it to the kids of her country. The following are excerpts from Sali's journal, which she wrote while testing the XO in Guinea. On Friday, we will have excerpts detailing Sali's experiences using the XO in Mali.
