One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)
(Knowledge) Power to the People!

"Give One. Get One"

Extended through December 31.

"One learning child. One connected child. One laptop at a time.

"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, we need people who believe in what we’re doing and want to help make education for the world’s children a priority, not a privilege. "

I've run into people who deride this effort because the computers are not of the quality to which they have become accustomed. Nevertheless, I think it's a good idea.
