Ngina Shillingford and Julia Weber, both Class of 2011, represented the Nobles Africa OLPC Club and fulfilled a dream of the Shillingford family by bringing XO computers from the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Program to the native Kalinago people of Dominica, a beautiful island in the Caribbean, and The Newtown Primary School. The Minister of Education and other dignitaries were on hand for the formal deployment ceremony, which included speeches by Ngina and Julia, as well as chilled coconut milk for all. The students and teachers of both the Kalinago School and the Newtown School were greatly appreciative and began using their XO computers to enhance their education right away. The children are looking forward to continued, informative friendship with OLPC and Nobles through Ngina and Julia.  Click here to read a Dominica Central Newspaper article about the OLPC-Dominica project.
