One laptop per child

Hey, do you remember YOUR first computer? I do. In fact, I remember the computer BEFORE my first computer...I watched as my little brother worked overtime to understand Prodigy...wayyyyyy back when.

Well, now I'm jumping to support another first. The One Laptop per child initiative. I invite you to join in as well. This could, quite frankly, change our world for the better.

Imagine if any child, any where, had access to the world's libraries, the pictures of space that NASA takes, the collaborative areas of social networking websites...

So, click below, and see what you see!

 

I've ordered mine! (One for a child...and, of course, one for me to learn and understand!)

One learning child. One connected child. One laptop at a time.

The mission of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is to empower the children of developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child. In order to accomplish our goal, we need people who believe in what we’re doing and want to help make education for the world’s children a priority, not a privilege.

Between November 12 and November 26, OLPC is offering a Give One Get One program in the United States and Canada. During this time, you can donate the revolutionary XO laptop to a child in a developing nation, and also receive one for the child in your life in recognition of your contribution.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your post about the new XO laptop from the OLPC campaign. We at Razoo really support this kind of creative solution, so much so that we're including it in our "Good Travels" contest.

The "Good Travels" contest encourages travelers to do good while one the road. As part of the contest, five 2nd prize winners will receive the new XO laptop (and 5 laptops will be donated to children in developing nations).

(By the way, the grand prize of the contest is a trip for two anywhere in the world to put good into action, via ResponsibleTravel.com.)
