Colombia signs agreement to purchase 65,000 XO laptops
One Laptop per Child announced that the State of Caldas, Colombia, has signed a purchase agreement for 65,000 XO laptop computers to be distributed to children in the country’s most important coffee-growing regions.
The first wave of 15,000 units to be deployed later in 2008 will be in Caldas’s smaller towns and rural areas. For the capital Manizales, a separate agreement is being discussed so that total coverage for State is achieved.
We can only hope that these laptops will be distributed fairly to kids as country’s government funds are used for the purchase.
