Starting on November 12th (and ending around Nov 20th), One Laptop Per Child - laptop.org - will be running a GIVE ONE GET ONE campaign. And I am BEGGING for money to participate in this incredibly important campaign against global poverty.

BETH IS TRYING TO RAISE $400! Go Here to Donate: darnlucky.ning.com/profile/wackonation

And where will the money go?
>> ONE LAPTOP will be sent to a child in a developing country. (Want to see what the laptops look like and how they are used? Go Here: www.laptop.org)

>> ONE LAPTOP will be sent to a content/software developer who is committed to developing educational materials for One Laptop Per Child. THAT’S ME!

I have committed to developing 3 Education Activity Games to contribute to the One Laptop Per Child project in 2008. (More if I can!)

1. Humanities- I will be creating a global paper dolls project that allows kids to explore people and cultures around the world through interactive computer play.
2. Math- I will be creating an interactive dice game based on Feed the Kitty, but with a few suprises!
3. Geography & Humanities- I will be creating a map centered game where students can “Dig” their way from their home country to another country to explore geography, culture, people, and art.

The laptop sent to me will be used to develop and test content and applications, and to see the games as the kids who will be using them do.

$5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $1000– GIVE WHATEVER YOU WILL. GIVE WHATEVER YOU CAN! Knowledge is power. Enpower a child today!
