Kids on the coast

Minimising disadvantages for children in remote communities is the key priority of a charity called One Laptop Per Child (OLPC). The charity has gained the support of Commonwealth Bank, Telstra and News Limited to deploy 15,000 educational laptops preloaded with software to remote and indigenous schools across Australia over the next 12 months. Its vision is to provide each of the 400,000 children living in remote communities with a laptop in the next five years. To find out more or donate to the cause, visit www.laptop.org.au
