This video says it all – Win a LapTop, Give a LapTop & Change the World, One Child at a Time.

Often children have warm and giving hearts and are willing to give when they have the opportunity.  P2 is even like that when she sees an opportunity to give, all by herself.  Heard the term ‘would give you the shirt off her back’?  She just came from Heaven that way and what a delight she is for it.

Of course, P2 and her sisters love and adore Betty Crocker’s Fruit Flavored Snacks and Fruit Rollups as evidenced here.

As parents we want our kids excited to win, but to understand the importance of giving to others.  Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks are becoming our allies to help our kids do exactly that – win and give.

On specially marked boxes of Betty Crocker’s best kid favorites – including Fruit Roll-Ups, Gushers, Fruit by the Foot, and Stickerz & Shapes – your child could win one laptop to keep and Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks will donate another to a child in Africa.  Seriously.

Each day from now through May 30, 2010, one laptop prize will be awarded to a U.S. winner. For every laptop won, one laptop will be donated to an African child through One Laptop per Child, an organization that creates educational opportunities for the world’s poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.

Think about that – Doesn’t that sound like something you want to get behind? What a fabulous concept!  Kudos to Betty Crocker and those who dreamt this up!!
