Give a Laptop, Get a Laptop – Change the World 


Give 1 Get 1 now available for global participation 
 

Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 17, 2008 – The recent U.S. election has shown that ordinary citizens coming together can change the status quo.  Now is the time to harness that goodwill and help the children of the developing world who have been left behind.  Some of the world’s poorest countries spend less than $20 a year on children’s education and one in three children won’t complete fifth grade.  Participation in One Laptop per Child’s Give 1 Get 1 program will help bring a modern education to these children and empower them to build a better future for themselves and their families and their communities and societies.
