At the rural Kuzhugchen Community Primary School, the OLPC APAC team of volunteers was able to set up a school server with Wi-Fi Internet connection in addition to training both teachers and students for five days.

The XO was very well received by all the students, teachers and government officials.  We hope to work with the Bhutanese government to achieve the goal of Bhutan being the first country in Asia to provide all its primary school students with an XO.
