Buy the XO laptop and give one to a child
UPDATE: The OLPC has extended the Give One Get One program until December 31st.
MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte asks leaders in developing nations “what is
your most valuable resource?” After various responses he suggests that the most valuable resource is their children. If every child in the world had access to a computer, what potential could be unlocked? What problems could be solved? These questions eventually led to the foundation of One Laptop per Child, and the creation of the XO laptop - a solar/crank powered, open source sub $100 laptop.
Between November 12 and November 26, One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is offering a Give One Get One program in North America. This is the first time the revolutionary XO laptop has been made available to the general public. For a donation of $399, one XO laptop will be sent to empower a child in a developing nation and one will be sent to the child in your life in recognition of your contribution. $200 of your donation is tax-deductible (your $399 donation minus the fair market value of the XO laptop you will be receiving).
For all U.S. donors who participate in the Give One Get One program, T-Mobile is offering one year of complimentary HotSpot access. Find out more.
