Dear One Laptop Per Child, My name is Jon Sands. I am a 15 year old, living in Lincoln, NE. I recently started developing a site restoretheworld.com I am intrigued by your cause to give every child in 3rd world countries. I believe it is an amazing idea that will promote learning and education in countries that are in dire need of it. I feel that teens as a group are not being involved in key issues such as 3rd world countries education, and even environmental and economy problems. I hope restoretheworld.com can change that, and I am seeking your help in some of your materials. I am wondering if there is any material such as stickers, fliers, posters, or anything else you could give to me to support your cause. Also, I am wondering if there is any chance I would be able to get an XO computer at a discounted rate (I am a teen student--I don't have a big budget as much as I would like to!) so that I could possibly raffle of the computer, the highest bid of course, being a donation to your organization. I am going to be adding links and website material to a portiton of my site called "Get Involved" having One Laptop Per Child information regardless of your ability to provide any materials to me.
I hope, however, there is something we can work out as I truely believe it would best benefit the child of the 3rd world countries. Restoretheworld.com is still in beta mode and requires a login, but if you would like to view the site or anything that will get you to consider my asking of those materials, just let me know! Thanks so much for your time! Jon Sands _______________________________________________ Grassroots mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/grassroots
