Don't Go with XO's: OLPC Isn't Right Haiti Earthquake Response

Submitted by Jon on Tue, 01/19/2010 - 10:55

The earthquake in Haiti is a stunning disaster in a country already in crisis from decades of disastrous governments and natural calamities. The poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, this new devastation we see every night on TV makes you want to do something -anything - to help the Haitian people.

XO hope, but not right now
But OLPC is not the right solution for Haiti right now. XO laptops will not help people dig out and restart lives. No matter how good your intentions, don't go to Haiti with XO's.
