When I first read about this many years ago, I though it was really cool. I still do. I agree with Prof. Bustillos in that the media totally missed the point. It's not about comparing it to what we have in America, but it's about providing resources and opportunities to kids in third world countries. I was excited to read this entry because I was curious what the OCPL was up to these days. It's great to see how the program has expanded and all the lives it has changed.
If you haven't had a chance to read about the program or see the pictures and stories. It is well worth your time!
