Give One, Get One Laptop Kicks Off

The Give One, Get One campaign launched yesterday.

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.

I wrote about some of the challenges about using these laptops in Cambodia (primarily - can't load KhmerOS on them because the screen is too small) and you can' t designate the recipient or the country even.

Nonetheless, I decided to make a donation to the project.  The OLPC that arrives in this house will most likely stay here in the US for my children for a few months before making its way to the English class at the Sharing Foundation's computer school in Cambodia.

Hi Beth,

We love the Give One Get One campaign, so much so that Razoo has included it as part of our Good Travels contest. In addition to our Grand Prize ($5,000 trip for two anywhere in the world to put good into action), we're giving away 10 of the XO Laptops from the GOGO campaign. So five of our contest winners will receive one, and five deserving children will receive one.

You can read all about it here: http://blog.razoo.com/articles/2007/11/12/razoos-good-travels-contest-win-a-trip-anywhere-in-the-world
