OLPC-toting Rwandan students flock to airport for free WiFi

OLPC may be facing some tough times as of late, but there’s no denying that the little-laptop-that-could has made an impact where it’s been distributed, as evidenced by this latest indication of the project’s reach in Rwanda. Apparently, in addition to helping students with their schoolwork, the laptop is also teaching them the fine art of finding free WiFi, and this particular group seems to have quickly discovered that the Kigali International Airport is one of the best spots in town. And just what are they using the laptops to look up in their time outside the classroom? Bruce Lee and Jean-Claude Van Damme, who, coincidentally, also brings the world together in his own special way.
