An update to the previous post One Laptop Per Child's "Give One Get One" Program is from November 12 - 26 -- OLPC (which has created the XO Laptop) announced on November 22nd (press release) that the "Give One Get One" Program will be extended until December 31. From the press release:
"In the past 10 days, we've experienced an outpouring of support from the public that is truly gratifying and encouraging," said Nicholas Negroponte, founder and chairman of One Laptop per Child. "Because so many people have asked for more time to participate either individually or in order to organize local and national groups to which they belong, we have decided to extend Give One Get One through the end of this year. During this extended period we will solicit input and transition to a program of giving only at the beginning of 2008. We want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to act upon the giving spirit of the holiday season.
In the press release OLPC also stated that donations to the Give One Get One program have averaged two million dollars per day thusfar. For more information:
