Internet is a wondrous tool and I use it, (ain't I a fool?)for you dear pupils, who wish to speak the Queen's English.
Well, maybe not but at least, if asked whether you speak English or not,
don't say: "I do not!"
This project reminds me of the "One Laptop Per Child" (OLPC) initiative that brings basic computers to children in developing countries. Do you know about it? My father bought two back in 2007 when the company was first beginning (one for us to use, and one to send to a child overseas). A cool idea, I think...
Clearly, literacy is a huge problem facing our world -- and it's not only in far-away nations! I know of small children right here in American cities who have never owned their own books either. Do you think this is a problem in France as well?
Perhaps this project could change the situation for everyone...
