 Offer ends December 31st! 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, they need people who believe in
what they’re doing and want to help make education for the world’s children a
priority, not a privilege.
Between November 12 and December 31, 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.
Give One Get One!
Between November 12 and December 31, OLPC is offering a Give One Get One
program in the United States and Canada. This is the first time the
revolutionary XO laptop has been made available to the general public. For a
donation of $399, one XO laptop will be sent to empower a child in a developing
nation and one will be sent to the child in your life in recognition of your
contribution. $200 of your donation is tax-deductible (your $399 donation minus
the fair market value of the XO laptop you will be receiving).
For all U.S. donors who participate in the Give One Get One program, T-Mobile
is offering one year of complimentary HotSpot access. Find out more.
(Please be aware that they will make every effort to deliver the XO laptops by
the holidays, but quantities are limited. Early purchasers have the best chance
of receiving their XO laptops in time for the holidays, but they cannot guarantee
timing.)

The Machine:
Many years and an infinite amount of sweat equity went into the creation of
the XO laptop. Designed collaboratively by experts from academia and industry,
the XO is the product of the very best thinking about technology and learning.
And it was designed with the real world in mind, considering everything from extreme
environmental conditions such as high heat and humidity, to technological issues
such as local-language support. As a result, the XO laptop is extremely durable,
brilliantly functional, energy-efficient, responsive, and fun.
