Earth Treasury (currently redirects back here) has no corporate connection with OLPC, the maker of the $100 Laptop. OLPC just lets us use their Wiki.--Mokurai 02:51, 3 June 2007 (EDT)
This page is a place-holder until Earth Treasury can create its own Web site.
Extending Give One Get One
OLPC ended G1G1 on December 31, 2007. Earth Treasury has created a similar program, buying from OLPC's GiveMany program in quantity. We are talking to funding people.
Vision
The end of poverty through communication and sustainable commerce
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.
- Anyone can participate. We have 101 Things To Do.
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. Done.
- 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. In process with lawyers.
- We should put on a conference. I have signed on as a board member of WIRE AFRICA. We have a conference in December 2007.
- 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:
OLPC4USAlobbying. Won't someone please help tidy it up a smidge? --Mrknuffke 13:58, 21 January 2007 (EST)
