It was a good program that felt like it was made for one part of the country without thinking of the rest. I've heard stories of people in Jujuy receiving a computer that didn't have electricity at their house

The amount of people who don't have access to electricity in Argentina is minuscule compared to the total number of children who are aided by computer literacy. This is just nitpicky.

The amount of kids living below the poverty line is not a small one.

It's a netbook. It'll work a few hours after charging. Go to school -> charge -> return home and do your homework.
