We take for granted that computers and technology are readily available in schools, public libraries and in millions of homes across the United States. The internet is the first place most of us turn to when we have a question. Our children can play educational games, do research for a school project and even read books on our tablets and computers.

Colton is beginning to use kid-friendly sites to help with counting, letters and problem-solving which have been a great help because computer games make learning fun! Many children in other countries don’t have this privilege and some haven’t ever seen a computer!

Now through May, families in the U.S. can help give XO laptops to kids in Africa by purchasing specially-marked packages of Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks. Enter your code online and your child could be a lucky winner of an XO laptop! For every 100 codes entered, Betty Crocker will donate a laptop to a child in Africa.

{Giving Spirit} It has always been important for me to have the giving spirit. Just like my Mother taught me and her parents taught her. If I can teach Colton to love others and help through not only giving material things, but his time as well, I will have succeeded as a Mom.

Through this campaign, Betty Crocker is not only encouraging kids to get excited about helping kids in Africa through the simple act of entering their codes online, but to get in the giving spirit.  “Research shows that providing children with opportunities and experiences to feel the joy and impact of giving to others helps them grow into kind, empathetic and respectful adults,” said Dr. Michele Borba, parenting expert who has partnered with Betty Crocker for this campaign.

To get you and your children excited about the Win One Give One campaign and to remind you to enter your codes online, Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks would like to give away one XO laptop here on Busy Mommy.{Giveaway is open to residents of the US}
