[Kid Inspiration]

I heard about this amazing innovation a few months ago and have been looking forward to seeing the final project… well it has been finished.

The laptops are powered with a wind-up crank, have very low power consumption and will let children interact with each other while learning. It is touted as a potent learning tool created expressly for the world’s poorest children living in its most remote environments.

Read a BBC news report here.

Nicholas Negroponte is former Director of the MIT Media Lab, and founder of the non-profit, One Laptop Per Child, dedicated to making the famed $100 laptop a reality.

In this talk, he outlines some of the challenges of getting a $100 laptop produced, and explains why he stepped down as Media Lab director to focus on it full-time, “for the rest of my life.”

I love that great minds are committing themselves to helping the plight of poor children around the world!

One of the must read blogs on my list is Hello, My Name is Blog.

Written by Scott Ginsberg who is the only person in the world who wears a nametag 24-7-365 (since November 2, 2000) to encourage people to become friendlier and more approachable.

You need to read his blog… great ideas that can be adapted to your ministry situation, even though it is written from a business point of view.

Check out this post about conversation.

Can you start conversations?

You may be the type of person who can walk into a room and engage another person in meaningful conversation, but most likely like a lot of people you find meeting new people difficult.

Our ability to pastor and care for people in our ministries can be seriously enhanced by breaking though our personal issues.

Don’t hide behind the kids, speak to the parents… engage them show them you want the best for their kids! And see your families flourish.
