Laptops for Children

Laptop.org has been around for 40 years! Amazing. I haven't figured that one out yet, but I like what they are about and hope to give them more exposure. Here's a little bit about them. Click the link to find out more, and get involved or emulate.

From: About One Laptop Per Child Association

The One Laptop per Child association develops a low-cost laptop—the "XO Laptop"—to revolutionize how we educate the world's children. Our mission is "to provide educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning." We have recently reduced staff to deal with tough economic times; see our announcement for details.
