</imagemap>North End Childrens Project
The North End Childrens Project is dedicated to providing XO laptops and support to the children in the Urban Village of the North End of Middletown, Connecticut.
We are accepting donations of unneeded G1G1 XO laptops for arts and educational projects. These G1G1 XO laptops would be donated to the [North End Action Team (NEAT), an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit in Middletown, and from there distributed to North End children. This may enable the entire G1G1 donation to be considered a charitable contribution -- as always, please check with your tax professional.
To date, we have Eight XO's pledged, with an initial goal of Twenty.
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.
Middletown also is home to Wesleyan University, Green Street Arts Center, Buttonwood Theatre, KidCity and OddFellows Playhouse and many other organizations dedicated to the educational enrichment of urban children.
