September 24, 2007: XO-Giving $100 Laptops

The BBC is reporting that XO-Giving will offer these laptops on a "buy one – donate one" basis during the month of Novmber.  You can read more about the event at this web-site.  For those who are not familiar with this project it has been in the works for a number of years now.  The basic idea is to get laptops into the hands of children in developing nations.  Their mission is to provide a means for learning, self-expression and exploration to the nearly two billion children of the developing world with little or no access to education. While children are by nature eager for knowledge, many countries have little resources to devote to education—sometimes less than $20 a year per child. Imagine the potential that could be unlocked by giving every child in the world the tools they need to learn, no matter who they are, no matter where they live, no matter how little they may have.
