Four days in, you have raised a tremendous amount of money to support underprivileged schools with Macs and iPods – 71 percent of the $15,000 goal, including the support from Claire Dane.
There is still $4400 of funding left to ensure that each of the great projects we're contributing towards gets funded. I'm getting paid on Saturday and will be making a contribution toward this project, which is about creating a read-aloud section for kids with the use of Garage Band and iPod Shuffles.
My mom is a recently retired elementary school librarian (and Mac-head, of course!), and I spent many summers helping her get the reading software installed on the world's most hodge-podge collection of Macs. This project sounds better than a lot of the existing solutions.
But I can't make it happen alone. Only you guys can.
