The One Laptop Per Child project and Amazon today launched the second “Give 1 Get 1” initiative, giving people the opportunity to buy two laptops and donate one to a child in a developing country. OLPC said the “Give 1 Get 1” program will create educational opportunities for children living in some of the most remote regions of the world.

Last year’s program supported 150,000 XO laptops, but this year’s campaign aims at becoming an on-going program, with the help of Amazon of course. The “Give 1 Get 1” program give people the possibility of either purchasing a laptop for $199 and donate it to a child in the developing world, or purchase 2 laptops for $399, donate one and give one to a child who needs it in their world.

According to OLPC, the laptops included in this initiative will run the latest release of Sugar on a Linux-based Fedora Core operating system, and they will not have dual-boot for Windows and Linux, as it has been reported.

OLPC is a non-profit organization established by Nicholas Negroponte in 2005, whose main purpose was to offer every child in the world the possibility to own a computer. However, they’ve been struggling ever since to reach the price goal of $100 for the XO laptop.

The project was not only less popular than Negroponte thought it would be, but also found a rival in Intel’s Classmate PC. In March this year, Intel announced its plans to make Classmate PC available throughout Europe and the United States, despite its previous announcements that it would only focus on people in developing countries.
