Here's a great idea this holiday season if you want to make a difference in the life of a needy child from a third world country: For a donation of $399, the Web site Laptopgiving.org will provide one laptop to a child in an impoverished part of the world-and they'll even send an additional one to you as a way of saying thanks for your generous gift.
Known as One Laptop Per Child or OLPC, the program was founded by M.I.T. Professor Nicholas Negroponte and represents an initiative to improve the educational needs of children in developing countries.
The program only runs till November 26, so hurry up and check out the site to learn more about it. If you can afford to help out in this way it's definitely worth considering and since the laptops are designed for children, the extra one you receive might even make a perfect gift for your grandkids!
