OLPC

So, how does One Laptop Per Child plan to combat globalization?  Simple:  “create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.”  That laptop is the XO.  By making these tablets available for only $35, even destitute and remote corners of the globe have an opportunity to join the online revolution that has so far defined our generation.  Proper education may just be the answer to the question: how can we eliminate poverty and starvation?  Like the age old parable: “give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, but teach that man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime.”  Education empowers individuals to apply critical thinking to daily life, and hopefully, reach solutions to problems that may have otherwise jeopardized their chances of survival.  To date, OLPC has provided over 2 million laptops to underprivileged children in over 40 different countries.  By allowing people to make donations online, the organization has made being a humanitarian as easy as ordering a textbook.


What an outstanding example of one company working to better the world -- just like VAULT REVOLUTION.  Be ahead of the rest, and secure your personal information before the whole world goes digital and leaves you in the dust.  1000 locks for as little as $19.99.
