The mission of Earth Treasury is |

* To piggyback on OLPC's computer program in education, in order to further health, economic opportunity, human rights, and anything else in the way of sustainable development. |
|||
* To lobby the US Congress and the various state and territorial legislatures to buy into the OLPC program. |
|||
* To support all other national OLPC groups, whether part of OLPC or independent like ourselves. |
|||
===Programs=== |
|||
* Link schools around the world |

* Telemedicine |
|||
