One Laptop Per Child
olpc
By now, most people have heard about the $100 laptop initiative, also known as "One Laptop Per Child" (OLPC). The goal of this project is to create a laptop cheap enough that through donations, laptops can be given to child all around the world. After multiple prototypes were built, a model has been selected and started production. Where they able to get the model to only cost $100? No. They have settled on a $200 price tag, and it looks like what is offered in the laptops are worth the extra cost.

Until November 26, you can buy a laptop for yourself or someone else you know. The cost for you to purchase one is $400. It will get you one laptop, and will pay for another laptop that will be given to a child in a developing nation. They call this the "Give One. Get one" plan, and I hope it is a huge success for them!
