Balton is a company with 5 divisions: Electro Mechanical Engineering, Communications, Public Health, Agriculture and Projects and Services. Balton is seeking to start the One Laptop Per Student project in Rwanda. The big issue they are tackling is how to connect them all. In such remote areas, internet and other networks are difficult to develop.
Rwanda has gone through so much in the last few years with the Genocide and poverty issues. I am very excited to see something good might happen for the people there. I hope Balton can come up with a way to connect all of the computers and use the laptops to enhance the education. Better education means a chance for a better life for the children as they grow to be adults. The people of Rwanda deserve a fair chance at success and bettering their situation.
