Gave an impromptu WUaS presentation at One Laptop per Child gathering on Market Street in SF yesterday. 
Here's the WUaS OLPC page, with some discussion of OLPC in 'References' -

- page name will shorten, (because OLPC is neither a $100 laptop, nor associated with MIT, although it is a 'spin off'). 
They continue to deploy green and white computers in very poor countries - cool - around the world.

Here are some of the main OLPC countries (I think there are 14):
