A travel reservation portal could allow the traveller to spend the commission in a goodgifts.org-like shop with the [[Special Laptop Program]] as one choice.{{IntRef|Semipostal stamp for email|Semipostal stamp}}

One could form a non-profit organization to operate a travel reservation portal to provide funding for the associated charities. The portal could make use of Opodo and Pegasus, to allow travellers the full convenience of Opodo while allowing hotel-only reservations to provide more funding.


[http://www.opodo.co.uk/ Opodo] pays
* up to 1% for flights
* up to 5% for hotels
* up to 5% for cars
and can reserve holiday packages, rail + hotel etc.

[http://www.pegs.com/ Pegasus]
* allows to collect the full commission of 8% (to 12%) for hotels.

== Example ==

* [http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dg688hj9_0f3qm2f Demonstration page] - the credibility of the page would obviously benefit from an official certification from the OLPC Foundation.{{IntRef|Fundraising_certificate#Certified_OLPC_fundraiser|Certified OLPC fundraiser}}

(The example page shows affiliate links for the two [[parent education courses]] now.)

== Some ideas ==

A travel service could operate a call center in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niamey Niamey] and use the call-center to teach, among other things, the languages French and English.
