"GIVE ONE GET ONE" INITIATIVE IN MONGOLIA


Two months ago Mongolian President Enkhbayar Nambar had a official visitation in the United States of America. While this meeting president Mr.Enkhbayar has signed the "Memorandum of Understanding" contract of the "One Laptop Per Child" program which is provided by Nicholas Negroponte's OLPC community and announced that every child of our nation will connected laptop by end of 2010 year. In January, Mongolia and OLPC plan to launch a pilot project providing 20,000 units of the acclaimed XO laptops.
OLPC non-profit organization founder and chairman Nicholas Negroponte said that "It's an education project, not a laptop project. Children are a mission, not a market. Our goal is to reach the poorest and most remote children, in countries where as many as 50% do not even go to school and provide those children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment and express themselves. We believe the emerging world must leverage this resource by tapping into the children's innate capacities to learn, share, and create on their own. Our answer to that challenge is the XO laptop, a children's machine designed for “learning learning.” ". For $399, you can buy yourself an innovative XO laptop and to give one to a kid in a developing nation. It’s valid for North Americans only and the offer only runs though November 26th. If you participate in Give One Get One, your donation comes with one year of complimentary access to T-Mobile HotSpot locations throughout the United States (a $350 value). “T-Mobile believes in helping people stay connected to those who matter most in their lives. The Give One Get One program delivers on our unmistakable commitment to enhancing personal relationships,” said Joe Sims, vice president and general manager for Broadband Services, T-Mobile USA.
