To be honest, a computer is not that important. I would be graduating out of high school this year and my school still don't have any computers, doubt they will anytime soon. By no means, my education has suffered due to that reason. Computers are easy to pick up, most people have had fiddled with a phone at least and from there, computers are no big deal. I received my first computer just last April and I have already learned to code(more or less, still needs years of polishing). I am not trying to belittle the work of this teacher and he is awesome, but I think instead of trying to send them computers, initiatives should be taken to build a proper infrastructure first. Without proper infrastructure, no matter how many computers you send, very few will benefit from it.
