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.
