I've always been a supporter of programs that are aimed to eradicate poverty and help the poor. I've travelled extensively and lived in Africa and I grew up in China. While I was living in Ethiopia, I took up in the annual 10km run and raised $400 for the UNICEF.

Now I'm just very surprised by the lack of human touch of OLPC foundation. I'm not frustrated because I'm still very patient and hoping it will arrive one day. But this email reply from their support team is leaving me disappointed.

I live in the US - Central Square, Cambridge, Ma (that is, not many blocks from OLPC, though a bit farther than the meet-up last Tuesday) to be precise.  I got my laptop last Tuesday ; it was apparently shipped 2008/1/25.
