Change the World stories

Change the World Stories

Not only does the Change the World program offer opportunities for countries to donate laptops to specified locations, but it also offers the same opportunity for individuals and organizations who wish to build a story of learning for their children, through the gift of the XO.

Some of these admirable individuals and organizations have started their own programs, or have raised funds to support programs that are passionate about the gift of learning for their children. Some of these include stories from Pennsylvania to Afghanistan.
