Hi! I just ordered mine. The offer is available in the US & Canada. I encourage all TikiWiki community members that can afford it, to participate to this program. "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. 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." "Between November 12 and November 26, OLPC is offering a Give One Get One program in North America. This is the first time the revolutionary XO laptop has been made available to the general public. For a donation of $399, one XO laptop will be sent to empower a child in a developing nation and one will be sent to the child in your life in recognition of your contribution. $200 of your donation is tax-deductible (your $399 donation minus the fair market value of the XO laptop you will be receiving)." http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/give-one-get-one.php Best regards, -- M ;-) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / / / Marc Laporte <|> http://marclaporte.com / / Avantech.net <|> http://avantech.net / / Tiki CMS/Groupware <|> http://tikiwiki.org/UserPagemarclaporte / / / ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// |
