I came across this campaign called OLPC (One Laptop Per Child), and i think it's a really meaningful and extraordinary campaign.
By donating one laptop to a school-age child in a developing nation, you empower them to learn and have a proper mean to education. The aim is to make education for the world's children a PRIORITY, not a privilege.
This laptop will enable these children to have a window to the outside world, helping them connect with each other. Most importantly, we are helping these countries and the world to develop the most important resource - educated and empowered children.
- as quoted in http://www.laptop.org/
So what are you waiting for? Visit http://www.laptop.org/ and donate a laptop now. Think of the children of the world, and think of the happiness you can bring to them by giving them a good education.
With education, we will solve our own problems. To the person who gave me this XO laptop, thank you. You have changed my world. - Zimi.
Dont bother with singaporean scums, they will try to sell for a profit online than actually giving it to a child
LOL well some ppl do emphatise with them though.
anyway, this campaign is not telling people to donate their old laptop. it's telling ppl to purchase a USD$199 laptop on the website, which the foundation will then donate the laptop to these needy children.
