When it comes to helping developing countries，we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals，buy food and medicine，or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However，it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.
A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer，which he decided to
invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be
covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily .As an electricity
supply can be
a problem in developing countries，the computer also has a special handle in order that children
can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.
This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr.Negroponte wants to
produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year .The idea is that these computers
will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet .These computers
might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately，but by improving children's
education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.
Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that
hey can be used again. In the UK. and probably in many other countries too，millions of mobile
phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very
bed for the environment， so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time，We will reduce the waste we produce and help others .In other words ,we will be able to\kill two birds with one ”and that is always a good thing.
