The XO Laptop: Give One, Get One

Now through December 31, 2007, you have the opportunity to purchase the revolutionary new laptop computer from One Laptop Per Child (http://www.laptop.org/). They are a non profit organization whose mission is to "empower the children of developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child." Why give a child (anywhere) a laptop? Because children enjoy using them and if the laptop is connected to going to school, then kids will go to school, learn, and have a brighter future.

Here are just a few of the reasons why the XO Laptop is so cool:

* They run on 120 or 240 volt power, on solar power, or by hand crank. No need to worry about your battery going dead.
* They come with antenna to facilitate wireless connection to the internet. Each antenna in service boosts the signal to users further away from hub.
* They have a built in video camera, chat feature and calculator.
* It's the only laptop that can be use in full sun. Now you can work outside!
* The computer is extremely durable and can operate in about an inch of water.
* The US computer will be provided with a free, one year wireless internet service contract through T-mobile.
* It runs a variety of open source software for educational and other purposes. See http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Home for more information.

From now until December 31, 2007, people in the US or Canada can order the XO Laptop when they donate one to a child in another country. Total cost for both computers in $400. You can't beat it! Visit http://www.laptopgiving.org/ or call 1-877-70-LAPTOP (1-877-705-2786) to order your laptop today! It will make all the difference to a child you know and a child you don't.

There are several ways to give:

* Simply Give - Donate money to give XO Laptops. $200 will purchase and deliver one computer and your entire donation is tax-deductible.
* Give One Get One - Purchase two XO Laptop computers for $400, one for you or your child, and another for a child in an economically developing country.
* Give Many - When your group donates 100 or more computers, you all get to designate where in the world you want them sent.

Choose the plan that works best for you and your organization. Then call 1-877-70-LAPTOP (1-877-705-2786) or visit http://www.laptopgiving.org/ to make a difference in children's lives. Happy computing!
