Education for all - "A Global Obligation"

houseof666 writes: It may sound far-reaching, but that's exactly what the guys at A Global Obligation have set as their goal: free education for the whole world. In fact it's one of the UN's Millenium Development Goals, and these guys have a novel approach to the whole thing: instead of asking the same old people who always donate to charity to squeeze another charity into their current donations, they're asking everybody to donate just $1 — less than the price of a can of coke. After all, it's everyone's obligation, not just for the rich. They're an IT startup, and to make donating easy everything happens online> You can even see how your money is being used, and help them use it, through something they call openEducation — think of it as open source development, but you're developing schools, not software.
