I think the original OLPC laptop solves all these problem. Remember the radios at some point that had a charging thing where you have a lever that you turn around and after several revolutions you have enough charge to listen to radio for hours? that would IMHO be a way of dealing both with electrical shortages and child obesity..<br>

<p>Materials can be ordered in bulk by some government department for schools and colleges.</p>
<p>In fact, are many minerals used to create electronic components not available in the region (eg. DRC)?<br>

<p>Question: how would this help students whose nearest power source is 30 km or more away? Or are you only thinking of students in urban areas?</p>
<p>I think it should not be one or the other, but a mixture of both depending on certain factors, e.g power availability, etc. What say you?<br>
