Yeah, I think, you know, obviously it's wonderful to be here today with the children.
00:00:00
I have a sister that's over in Africa right now that's been there for the past five months
00:00:06
and she's also in a classroom in Uganda with some students that just received their laptops
00:00:11
or are going to receive their laptops pretty soon.
00:00:17
I think they have a couple over there.
00:00:19
In the same fashion that a lot of you, you know, young students, young people are doing
00:00:22
here today.
00:00:28
It's exciting for me to be here to create some awareness and to show some support for
00:00:29
what Nicholas has done.
00:00:35
It's an incredible vision and I've been blessed with many opportunities to travel around the
00:00:37
world and I've been to Africa, I've been to some impoverished countries around the world,
00:00:42
impoverished places, and to give children hope and the opportunity to learn and expand
00:00:47
their vision of the world I think is extremely important.
00:00:53
So I'm hoping to continue that quest along with Nicholas.
00:00:55
I'm happy to be a part of One Laptop per Child.
00:01:00
The New England Patriots Charitable Foundation has been a huge help in setting this up as
00:01:03
well along with a lot of other people, the Boys and Girls Club that have coordinated
00:01:07
this.
00:01:12
So it's wonderful to be here and like I said to the students or the kids, I'm glad you're
00:01:13
not up there.
00:01:18
You know, there's time for basketball and there's time for learning and all those things
00:01:19
are important in the child's life and the Boys and Girls Club bring that together and
00:01:23
I'm excited to see what these children can do with these and I'm sure it's going to be
00:01:28
a huge success.
00:01:32
So thank you.
00:01:33
All right, so who's been playing with this the longest?
00:01:34
I was actually at home this last weekend.
00:01:48
And I have four nieces, I have a 13 and a half, a 13 year old, a 7 year old, a 2.5 year old and a 2.5 year old.
00:02:16
And the 13 year old and the 7 year old were playing together on an airplane with the speaking
00:02:24
children.
00:02:27
Then I go upstairs and I come back down about 20 minutes later and the 2.5 year old is dragging
00:02:28
the cord along with the computer along the floor.
00:02:33
I'm not worried about that.
00:02:36
You know, you can see how the application for children of all ages, some use it as a
00:02:39
toy, some use it as a head on a leash to drive around.
00:02:44
But everybody needless to say can have fun with them.
00:02:49
How about this, I have my sister right here.
00:02:52
She's in Uganda and she has children in her classroom and I asked what they're doing.
00:03:03
How about this?
00:03:09
I asked her how many students are there with you?
00:03:26
Thank you.
00:03:39
I want to get some pictures of all of them with the cameras.
00:03:41
What do you think of that?
00:03:44
Huh?
00:03:47
That's what they do.
00:03:48
Look at that.
00:03:51
Pretty cool screen, huh?
00:03:56
Works in the sunlight as well.
00:03:59
Your laptop doesn't in my laptop.
00:04:01
She says it's about 8.30 p.m.
00:04:04
Do you have the speaking one?
00:04:34
How about that?
00:05:04
Take a picture of that.
00:05:14
They can talk to your friends.
00:05:16
How about that?
00:05:22
Take a picture of that.
00:05:52
Let's see.
00:06:00
Take a picture of that.
00:06:01
Take a picture of that.

- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady stopped by the West End House Boys & Girls Club in Allston, Massachusetts today to donate 1,000 computers. This is part of the One Laptop per Child program that benefits children from 31 countries and Boys & Girls Clubs across New England.
Brady appeared alongside One Laptop per Child Chairman Nicholas Negroponte.
Three-time Super Bowl winning Brady donated 1,000 "XO Laptops," which will be distributed to schoolchildren.
Brady said he has a sister who has been in Africa for the past five months, working in a Ugandan classroom -- where the students are reaping the benefits of this laptop program.
While sitting down with some schoolchildren, Brady spoke with his sister in Uganda via laptop while at the West End House today. - Duración:
