Hong Kong's young inventor Chan Yik Hei is appointed the OLPC Youth Ambassador for Asia Pacific.

In an announcement ceremony at BookFest @ HK, Yik Hei, together with Anthony Wong, President of OLPC Asia Pacific, leads a group of primary school students to connect through fun-filled learning activities of our XO laptops.

In an act of delightful surprise to everyone, Anthony and Yik Hei dropped their XO laptops off stage, demonstrating the legendary toughness of our XOs developed especially for children's usage in diversified environments.

At the first few public appearances of OLPC's XO laptop in Hong Kong, our XO turned out to be one of the most popular attractions for children and adults alike.

A team of volunteers were at various events to introduce to the people of Hong Kong our adorable XO laptops, among them the IT Fun Day organised by the Central and Western District Council. It was a love at first sight for many.
