SaveEarth.net first goal...Education
SaveEarth.net has set our first goal of 10 XO computers from the One Laptop Per Child OLPC program. As you begin to think about saving the planet you realize education is key. One program with this mission to educate the planet is the OLPC program.
"One learning child. One connected child. One laptop at a time.
The mission of One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is to empower the children of developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child. In order to accomplish our goal, we need people who believe in what we’re doing and want to help make education for the world’s children a priority, not a privilege. " (source http://www.laptop.org)
Welcome to SaveEarth.net
We have established our first goal and mission to donate funds from the directory for 10 XO computers from OLPC. So by promoting your site on our directory you will also be promoting OLPC. Of course you can support directly as well. One of the many ways we can change the way we impact our planet is through education. OLPC supplies laptops to children of school age with a laptop were they can connect to the world and learn through a variety of online informational sources and programs preloaded on the laptop.
