15 Day One laptop Per Child Promotion Window Opens: Multiple Benefits at a Modest Net Cost.

[Correction post should have read 15 day , not 12 day campaign]

Today began a 15 day “Give One Get One” promotion of the One Laptop Per Child Foundation.

I got up first thing this morning to make my donation the moment the window opened because I have long been an advocate of appropriate technology programs. That interest began more than 30 years ago when I read the seminal book, Small is Beautiful by E.F. Schumacher when I was assigned to one of HUD's Assistant Secretary's in the Central Office in DC.

You $400 plus shipping cost donation produces four specific benefits:

1. One laptop is donated to help a child in a country overseas.
2. An identical laptop is sent to you.
3. You receive one year of free T-MOBILE hotspot service.(worth $300+).
4. You receive a $200 income tax deduction (for the computer donated overseas).

If you would like to consider this as part of your holiday gift options, details on the laptops and the 15 day promotion are HERE.
