Creo que este proyecto está colmando nuestras expectativas pero además estamos descubriendo cosas que no teníamos pensado, hemos recibido con alegría comentarios de una maestra de una escuela de Porto Alegre donde se aplica una experiencia muy parecida a esta, estos comentarios nos llenan de ganas de continuar produciendo conocimientos en nuestros niños e intercambiar experiencias con otros. Mientras estudiábamos la producción lechera de la zona, los niños manejaron mucha información ya que la Villa es Capital de la Cuenca Lechera y esta rodeada de tambos, lo cual es muy común para ellos. Un niño aprovechó que su papá estaba asistiendo una vaca en el parto y lo filmó con su laptop. Este video resultó muy interesante para los compañeros, y fue publicado en internet. Esta profesora de Brasil, Nina Antonioli, comenta lo grandioso que fue para niños totalmente urbanizados que se espantarían de ver una gallina viva, poder ver el parto de una vaca y el ternero recién nacido. También este medio nos ha ayudado a crecer un poquito más y con el aporte de vuestros comentarios, desde Andalucía, Rafael García, de Madrid, o desde Maldonado o de cualquier lugar del planeta con aportes muy interesantes para seguir investigando con nuestros niños. Gracias también a Mirian, a Fernando , A Pablo, quienes siempre nos están alentando y apoyando. Publicado por Hanía Villanueva. Fecha: lunes, septiembre 17, 2007 From Hania Villanueva’s blog

I've been following the story since it was first announced. Kudos and best of luck. I hope that others follow this model of humanitarian technology.

I have for quite sometime felt encouraged by the basic idea behind your project implied by its name. I have just watched the 4 videos at this site and feel that I understand one of the key reasons why you have been encountering difficulties selling the idea in some jurisdictions (Congratulations on Uruguay) When you talk "Developing world" you are talking "Dark skinned people" in general. At least that is the popular perception in countries across Africa, Asia, South America etc. I myself a "UKBlack" person who has worked in the "Diversity Management" community for some 20 years would not be surprised if potential buyers ask the basic question among themselves when they leave meetings with you... WHY IS EVERYBODY "WHITE?" WHAT ARE THEIR TRUE "MOTIVES"( Perceptions to the viewer IS reality) I was personally disappointed to see everyone from your organisation and indeed even the children in Brazil... In your video....ALL WHITE ! I think you seriously need to address this issue.. Non white faces are not the only relevant issue of course I think proper organisation wide Diversity Management thinking will take your project a long way indeed. If I can, I would like to help out...I have a long history in computing, I did my first computer science course 30 years plus ago and am interested in the merits of your project.. You may wish to take a look at my site with reference to the diversity management issue. Get back to me if you would like to discuss the issue further. Good luck anyway. Floyd/ Hello folks at OLPC.

I myself a “UKBlack” person who has worked in the “Diversity Management” community for some 20 years would not be surprised if potential buyers ask the basic question among themselves when they leave meetings with you…

WHY IS EVERYBODY “WHITE?”

WHAT ARE THEIR TRUE “MOTIVES”(

Perceptions to the viewer IS reality)

I was personally disappointed to see everyone from your organisation and indeed even the children in Brazil… In your video….ALL WHITE !

I think you seriously need to address this issue.. Non white faces are not the only relevant issue of course I think proper organisation wide Diversity Management thinking will take your project a long way indeed.

If I can, I would like to help out…I have a long history in computing, I did my first computer science course 30 years plus ago and am interested in the merits of your project.. You may wish to take a look at my site with reference to the diversity management issue.

Unhappyly (for these people), Porto Alegre is not a branch office of the Europe and has poverty like common subdevelopment of Latin American, as any Latin American cities to know of this mean the obvious one... But also the video represents a look of people who saw this city, that is different of that its inhabitants think about it. This's not a caricature: I stow with the journalists in the typical fair of the city, that occurs all the Sundays. I agree when they had spoken that the video represents a real part of the city, but not it city all. At the same time, the video has this character of universalism: sample that the OLPC can be carried through in any city of America, that is full of colors, full of different faces, full of life! Good times! =) Well, about the Porto Alegre’s culture, it’s important to say, its inhabitants has difficulty to visualize how much they’re Latin American.
