Give one. Get one.
Looking for a computer for your young child at home? How does “for free” sound? Well, not exactly, but you’d be doing someone a favor by participating in the limited-time “Give one. Get One” campaign run by the “One Laptop per Child” effort.
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.

The founder reminds us that the program is not all about laptops, but rather about education. However, it looks like a pretty cool laptop too!
