*How are "Get One" XOs sold through G1G1 different than those overseas? |

: The XOs sold in developed nations will not use the Anti-theft 'leasing' system. There may be other changes as well. |

*If I give an XO through the G1G1 program, will I get a certificate or other acknowledgment? |
|||
: No. Those cost at least twenty cents to print. The correct response would be a certificate with a reasonable estimate as to where my donated laptop was shipped. |
|||
*Why are XOs sold in developed nations (as part of the get one give one program) being stripped down and only sold for a limited time? Couldn't any child regardless of geography, culture or income bracket benefit from a educational laptop like this? Additionally, wouldn't it help create manufacturing economies of scale if more were sold? This could potentially help reach the goal of a true $100 laptop faster. |

However, point 5 of the [http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/terms-and-conditions.php Give-One-Get-One Terms and Conditions] expressly states that delivery may be subject to delays, so there are no certain delivery dates. —[[User:Leejc|Joe]] 11:48, 15 November 2007 (EST). |

You can help support OLPC's mission by contributing time and knowledge or donating money, or by participating in our annual giving campaigns. For the first two years after mass production, we ran an annual "Give 1, Get 1" campaign where for the price of two XOs you could receive one and donate the cost of one to the foundation.

Give 1, Get 1 2007
The 2007 Give 1, Get 1 program (or "G1G1") concluded on 31 December 2007. 85,000 people gave a laptop through this program, donations which helped launch deployments in Haiti, Rwanda, Mongolia, Palestine, and Afghanistan.
The poster child for the campaign was from Nigeria, where we launched one of our first pilots in 2006.
G1G1 2007 has archival info on the 2007 program. During the program, participants who donated USD $399 would cover the cost of one laptop to be distributed by OLPC to one of its least-developed partner countries, and would get 1 to keep, for themselves or for a child in their lives. OLPC also has a static Official FAQ(dead link) on this program.
