OLPC Give One Get One Program Starts Today
You can buy a One Laptop per Child XO laptop for the first time today through the foundation’s Give One Get One program. $399 will cover the cost of one laptop for a child in a developing nation, one XO laptop for yourself and a year of complimentary T-Mobile Hotspot service.
To order your XO laptop and make a donation, visit www.laptopgiving.org or call 1-877-70-LAPTOP (1-877-705-2786).
Here’s a letter that OLPC sent out this morning.
From all of us at One Laptop per Child, thank you for your interest in our mission. Today marks the first day of our limited-time “Give One Get One” program. Starting today, when you donate an XO laptop to a child in the developing world, you’ll receive one for the child in your life. The price for the two laptops will be $399, $200 of which is tax-deductible. Additionally, T-Mobile is offering donors one year of complimentary access to T-Mobile HotSpot locations throughout the United States, which can be used from any Wi-Fi-capable device, including the XO laptop.
Please visit www.laptopgiving.org to participate in Give One Get One and discover more about the revolutionary XO laptop. You can also donate by calling toll-free 1-877-70-LAPTOP (1-877-705-2786). This is the only time we’re making the XO laptop available to the public and quantities are limited, so early purchasers have a better chance of receiving their XO laptops by the holidays.
Once again, thank you. We sincerely hope you’ll join our growing community of people working to create a connected, educated, enlightened future for the world’s most essential resource -
it’s children.

Hey folks,
If you’re interested in winning one of these laptops, check out Razoo’s “Good Travels” contest, which encourages travelers to do good while one the road. Five 2nd prize contest winners will receive the new XO laptop (and 5 laptops will be donated to children in developing nations).
By the way, the grand prize of the contest is a trip for two anywhere in the world to put good into action (via ResponsibleTravel.com).
