The choice had been made for the final 3! All choices involved helping the kids. In fact, the One Laptop Per Child organization actually had the same projects available from Sugar Labs, seeing as how they used their software on the laptops they produced. OLPC's mission statement is to deploy durable laptops targeting children (roughly in elementary schools) in certain areas of the world in order for them to create a foundation of learning. The software from Sugar Labs is intended to teach kids to learn learning; that is, teach them the process of learning and share their knowledge with others so that it may grow.
Also, I read Ch.1-2 of TOS. I learned about the important characteristics of a team member in developing open source software. The ideas from these two chapters are in agreement with those expressed in The Cathedral and the Bazaar in emphasizing the importance of creating a team environment. The treatment of co-developers is important in order for them to feel like contributing to the progress of any software project.
