Middletown Childrens Project

The Middletown Childrens Project is dedicated to providing XO laptops and support to the children in the Urban Village of Middletown, Connecticut.

To date, we have Five donated XO's, with an initial goal of Twenty.

Middletown is home to Wesleyan University, North End Action Team (NEAT), Green Street Arts Center, Buttonwood Theatre, KidCity and OddFellows Playhouse and many other organizations dedicated to the educational enrichment of urban children.

We are accepting donations of unneeded G1G1 XO laptops for arts related projects. These G1G1 XO laptops would be donated to an IRS recognized 501(c) non-profit in Middletown, and from there distributed to groups of Middletown children. This may enable the entire G1G1 donation to be considered a charitable contribution -- as always, please check with your tax professional.

As a community Middletown has been active in providing public wireless access through her library, local private business and schools. We envision our children playing, communicating and learning with the XO all through our Urban Village.
