Small mentoring organizations could offer [[E-mentoring]] and could help with [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Donations_from_mentoring_organizations fundraising].

== Mentoring programs ==

The [[OLPC Foundation]] could cooperate (e.g.) with [http://mentoring.org/ MENTOR] and the [http://www.mandbf.org.uk/projects/peermentoring/ Mentoring and Befriending Foundation] to organize [[E-mentoring]] programs and to support small mentoring organizations.

== Regional support organizations ==

Regional support organizations could help not contractually capable small mentoring organizations to manage their expenses and to accept funding from advertisement programs <ref>[http://education.wikia.com/wiki/User:Fasten/Pilingual_Primer#Inversion Advertisements promote "own ideas" in others]</ref> for their own budget and as [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Donations_from_mentoring_organizations fundraising for laptops]. Advertisement links on mentoring web pages could, for instance, encompass references to recommended [[parent education courses]].
The regional support organization could act as a legal representative for and act on behalf of its member organization.

In Germany this could be (e.g.) a function of a, yet non-existent (but anticipatable), [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schülermentor Schülermentoren]-[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugendverband Jugendverband] (youth federation of pupil mentors).

Some precedents for fundraising by children: 47 million € were raised in 2005 in the largest relief action by children for children in Germany.[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sternsinger#Deutschland] The Trick-or-Treat UNICEF box has collected approximately $91 million dollars (CAD) in Canada and over $132 million (US) in the USA.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicef#Trick-or-Treat_UNICEF_box]
[[Food Force]]: [http://www.food-force.com/index.php/helping/donation_methods/ Donations to the U.N. World Food Programme].

Regional support organizations in industrialized countries and regional support organizations in developing countries could network, which would allow mentoring organizations in industrialized countries to set up their own laptop programs and aim to provide laptops for recipient organizations they were in personal contact with.
Collecting organizations could also donate a self-chosen part of the collected money to Unicef (or another charity from a selection of appropriate charities).
