About: Peace Poles are four-sided pillars with the message « May Peace Prevail on Earth » inscribed on each side in a different language. There are more than 200,000 Peace Poles in 180 countries, serving as constant reminders to visualize and to pray for world peace.

One laptop per child

FAQ; privat policy; (future) homepage.

One laptop per child writes: Our mission is to provide a means for learning, self-expression and exploration to the nearly two billion children of the developing world with little or no access to education. While children are by nature eager for knowledge, many countries have insufficient resources to devote to education—sometimes less than $20 a year per child. Imagine the potential that could be unlocked by giving every child in the world the tools they need to learn, no matter who they are, no matter where they live, no matter how little they may have.

If you’d like to donate an XO laptop today, simply click the donation button on the right, above the photo. A donation of $200 will pay for and deliver one XO laptop to a child in a developing nation, $400 will pay for and deliver two XO laptops, and so on.
