Give your XO to displaced students in Haiti. We are sending a shipment of XOs to Haiti later this year, where the 2010 OLPCorps field volunteers will help distribute them as part of their rebuilding work around Port-au-Prince.

Q: Can I use the Post Office or Fedex, etc?
- A: Yes, all carriers/shippers can be used, to the address above.
Q: Is the original cardboard box required?
- A: No! XO Laptops are quite tough. Whichever cardboard box you use, we'd just ask you to provide basic protective packaging around your XO Laptop, charger and battery.
Q: Which kids will receive my laptop in which Haitian communities?
- A: OLPCorps Haiti plans were underway before January 12, 2010's catastrophic earthquake and are now being readjusted. We are very hopeful to involve existing OLPC Haiti communities participating in the Inter-American Development Bank project sending 13,700 XOs to Haitian students and teachers in 60 schools. We are waiting for news from the OLPC Haiti team and will update the OLPC for Haiti page as it arrives.
