Consultant Anne Kershaw, a co-founder of the e-Discovery Institute, is raising support for "what was once a radical idea for eliminating poverty -- portable education in a box, called One Laptop per Child."

OLPC distributes rugged, internet-connected, educational laptops (that don't need electricity) to kids. (Check out this video.) "Education is key to the elimination of poverty, and providing these laptops to poor children is an ingenuous and effective way to provide education in environments that otherwise have no access to books, research materials, or even classrooms or teachers," says Kershaw. "When children have access to this type of tool, they get engaged in their own education. They learn, share, create, and collaborate. They become connected to each other, to the world, and to a brighter future."
