Is this happening in Nepal.

I was surprised to see this picture in kantipur. The news read as "Department of Education distributed free laptops to all 16 students of Class 4 in the school as a pilot project with technical assistance from Nepal branch of One Laptop per Child (OLPC) mission." I heard about this program before, but never thought they would go serious about it. I haven't seen those models of laptop before. They look better than what I have. One interesting thing is: the desks in the classroom don't look classy enough to hold the laptops- I wonder where they get all the power plug to hook in all those things. And with so many hours of loadshedding and high price for electricity, can government afford to continue it. Or by the end of the day, when those hippies who brought those toys leave, would those teachers take it home for their children. Give your opinion on it. Are you impressed or not-optimistic about this scheme?
