> From now through November 26, the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) non-
> profit association is offering a unique opportunity to help provide
> connected laptops to the poorest and most remote children of the
> world, while receiving an XO laptop for your own child. Please look
> at www.laptopgiving.org. You have the opportunity to Give One Get
> One for $399, or give many, if you wish. By popular demand, there
> are ways to direct 60 or more to your favorite school, as well.
>
> OLPC is an education project, not a laptop project. Children are a
> mission, not a market. After 30+ years of research at the MIT Media
> Lab, based on Seymour Papert's theories of constructionism, we have
> had three years to pilot in primary schools around the world, in
> Cambodia, India, Nigeria, Brazil, Peru and other places. The XO
> laptop is now in mass production. It was reviewed recently by the
> NY Times. If you have a chance, I urge you glance at David Pogue's
> video as well.
>
> Our goal is to reach the poorest and most remote children, in
> countries where as many as 50% do not even go to school. The long
> term purpose is to eliminate poverty.

> PS: If you participate in Give One Get One, your donation comes
> with one year of complimentary access to T-Mobile HotSpot locations
> throughout the United States (a $350 value). Details are on
