The laptops of "One Laptop per Child" have been produced since November 2007. "So far, 50 thousand have been ordered explains the spokespersons of the NGO . Half of them have already been produced and 125 thousand are in operation, especially in South-America. Orders are increasing. But at this point we need more donors, in addition to the UN and the first sponsors, to make this dream come true". The Brussels branch will raise the awareness of the EU and the member states "and will rope in Education ministries and private companies". The laptop "looks like a toy, to make it nicer for the children. It speaks and gives directions in 12 languages and has three main features: it can be used as a computer, to study, draw, play, listen to music. It can be connected to PCs of the same kind, so it can be used at school. And it can be connected to the Internet". "It is a great cultural and social operation explains Deva -. Through this little device, we can help millions of children grow, develop their skills and become aware of the rest of the world. Economic growth in China and India has been made possible by cultural growth. Why not try this with the poor countries as well?".
