One Laptop Per Child


Looking for a fantastic opportunity to truly make a difference and get your kid something amazing from Santa? One Laptop Per Child is that gift. One Laptop is a global initiative to provide laptops to disadvantaged children all throughout the world and one time a year you can get one of these laptops for your child if you buy one for a needy child. We participated in Give One Get One last year and were thrilled with the product. For $399 you get a laptop and one is donated on your behalf. The laptops are especially cool because they are produced for children and not adults. The key pads are small and they features that were built into the technology are amazing. In order to work in third world environments, the laptops have such things as an extended battery and you can see the screen when you are outside and the screen is in color and it works in all kinds of environments. Believe it or not, it even has a video feature! and yes, it is Internet accessible. I can't say enough about this wonderful opportunity and even if your child doesn't use it as much as you thought, you gave another kid in the far reaches of the globe, the opportunity to learn and connect to those around them. Check it out at http://www.laptop.org/ and click on the Amazon link to purchase.
