Africans are asians are quite adapt at employing waste to create things we could not dream to put together, so I'm guessing they will be able to fix the keyboard without having to order a new one using macgyver-like ingenuity and some waste.
Or they can teach their kids to just not destroy them in the first place. Pretty good lesson I'd say, how not to ruin what you have been given so it lasts...
