Do read Hillary's speech. It is actually pretty good, and the mention
of OLPC is well framed amongst projects that can get LatAm countries
into thriving societies (and economies). None of these projects will
on its own turn around a region, but a smart combination of them, and
serious work will. And this is visibly at work in many LatAm countries
today.

cheers,
