The best of non-profit advertising and marketing for social causes

Save the OLPC, save the world

Masi Oka, aka Hiro from TV series Heroes, is taking his role on a new level with an ad for the “Give One Get One” campaign.

The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) initiative allows you to donate the XO laptop to a child in a developing nation, and also receive one for the child in your life in recognition of your contribution, and has been extended through the end of the year.

While other videos were released, none of them had such an impact as the one were our favorite hero sponsors the Nicholas Negroponte’s initiative.
Masi Oka, besides being a math genius who appeared on the cover of Time at the age of 12, a computer programmer and a talented actor, is now a global ambassador for OLPC, empowering the children of developing countries with access to information technology.
