You guys (and my next blogging check) have managed to fully fund several programs already (six by my count), and we're not even at the half-way mark in the drive (well, we're almost there). We've reached over 550 kids.
I have a great project for you: there's a classroom in Michigan that wants to buy a netbook. One. That's it. It would allow the students to research questions without leaving the safety of their classroom. They need another $365 to get it. Can you imagine what kind of world could open up to these kids with web access?
It won't take very many readers making modest donations to get the kids their netbook. If you can't give, just pass on the word so that people who can find out. Let's do it!
