If you haven't heard about One Laptop Per Child, I wanted to let you know about it. Don and I have been following the project for awhile. It is a great initiative to put a laptop in the hands of every child in every developing country in the world. A friend at the UN actually knows someone working on the project. The technology is truly amazing as it runs on very little power, and can be recharged with a solar panel, or a pull cord. It is very durable, built to withstand heat, dirt, and bright sun!
If you want to read more about it check out laptopgiving.org and the NY Times article at the following link: NYtimes
It is really very interesting to read the NY Times article about the technology. If you are looking for a charitable organization to contribute to during this holiday season of giving, consider this one.
The organization is having a Give 1, Get 1 promotion through the 26th, if you'd like to have an XO laptop of your very own! And you'll put one in the hands of a child in a developing country as well....what a wonderful tool to further their education!
