Bender Forms Group to Promote OLPC's Sugar UI

According PC World,

Former One Laptop Per Child President of software and content Walter Bender has launched Sugar Labs, an organization that will promote the development of the open-source user interface originally developed for the XO laptop.

OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) is truly a great concept and I bet that many children should benefit from it if they are lucky enough get their hands on one of them.
On the other hand, I am not sure how many people have compared the priority of IT enlightment over poverty resolution. It is true that there are billions of people who can not afford a PC, but there are even more people who are living under extreme poverty (e.g. Living on One Dallar a Day) can't even afford a decent meal every day.
