U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge visited the Fountain of Hope Lubuto Library on a March 2012 trip to Zambia. Both were presented with paintings created by members of the LubutoArts program and Mr. Ban also observed a LubutoStorytime session and the OLPC laptops in use in LubutoLaptops.
Quote from The Really Useful #EdTechBook:
"The Learning Technologist role is less about making the technology work and more about making the individual (the academic, the student) work (or in an educational context teach and/or learn) more effectively."

Ellie Tomlinson and Henry Meyers introduced the One Laptop Per Child XO laptops at the first Lubuto Library in February.
Ellie and Henry traveled to Lusaka to show children, staff and library volunteers what the XO laptop can do and how to use it. Since this library primarily serves street children, this was not a typical target group for the 10 innovative laptops that were donated by the OLPC Foundation.
Henry and Ellie's two week training program was spectacularly successful and the XO program has proven remarkably sustainable. The children absolutely love the XOs and are using them to compose music, draw, learn the pronunciation of words, take pictures and – in an environment where internet access is not likely to be available in the foreseeable future – enjoy communicating between laptops using the XO’s mesh technology.
Teachers Mirriam Banda, Nchimunya Musole and Betty Chocha practice using Etoys on the OLPC XO laptops. Together these teachers will create programs for teaching reading in seven Zambian languages at Lubuto Libraries.

"As we move to a post-digital era, and with continued financial pressure on institutions, the variations of the Learning Technologist discussed in this chapter will not cease any time soon."

To commemorate International Day of the Girl last Friday, there was a special program at the Model Library where young girls from Girls Connect took over the roles of library staff with the theme "Girls Take Over." Their responsibilities included managing the reading room and tech hub where they collected data, led storytime and singing activities, shelved books, interacted with library patrons, and prepared for Lubuto movie time. The young girls performed their roles successfully and showed us that young girls can run a library--even for a day!
Girls Connect Zambia is an NGO formed in 2017 by a group of young girls. Their mission is to create opportunities for girls and empower them through mentorship programmes, training and uplifting their potential so that they are able to support themselves financially, mentally, emotionally and physically.
