One Laptop per Child has started its Give One/Get One program

G1G1 will be global this year, available (via laptop.org/global) in *every*
*country *where the XO has passed certification and labelling *requirements*
.

This is an initial list of countries we will be shipping to. To send a
laptop to anywhere but the US, you'll need to enter your information via
amazon.co.uk <http://laptop.org/global>, and (for now) pay roughly 50 GBP in
shipping. We are adding to this list all the time. If you don't see your
country listed, and can help us work through the requirements where you
live, let me know. You can preorder a G1G1 laptop directed to any address
in the world where UPS ships, excluding the six embargoed countries below.
We prioritize the countries in which we quicken the certification process
based partly on the level of interest and the *number* of preorders, so make
your interest known!

machines in any of the following countries:
