Earth Treasury has no corporate connection with OLPC, the maker of the $100 Laptop. They just let us use their Wiki.--Mokurai 02:51, 3 June 2007 (EDT)

Mission

The mission of Earth Treasury is

  • To piggyback on OLPC's computer program in education, in order to further health, economic opportunity, human rights, and anything else in the way of sustainable development.
  • To lobby the US Congress and the various state and territorial legislatures to buy into the OLPC program.
  • To support all other national OLPC groups, whether part of OLPC or independent like ourselves.

Programs

  • Link schools around the world
  • Teach children to do business together.
  • Teach the genuine free market, not the nonsense in which corporations get to go freely into any country, but people don't.
  • Telemedicine
  • Demonstrate the XO to anybody who should get involved with OLPC.

Volunteers

We need some volunteers to take care of various business. Send me an email.

  • I'll go and invite some people. Done. I'll go invite some more.--Mokurai 00:48, 3 January 2007 (EST)
  • We need writers, speakers, publicists, a graphic artist, lobbyists, and others. You can suggest other tasks, particularly if you are volunteering to do them.
  • We'll get a mailing list together as soon as there are enough of us to justify it.
  • Web site with t-shirts, an Amazon link, and donations through Paypal and other means.
  • We need to move from a volunteer association to a non-profit corporation at some point.
  • We should put on a conference. I have signed on as a board member of WIRE AFRICA. We have a conference in April.
  • I'm going to make a page that makes is absolutely brainless to lobby our government officials. Oh wait, I did that. Here it is:
