Expired: Who wants a free Arduino?

I had the plesure of attending the Make: Hardware Innovation Workshop last week prior to Maker Farie. All the attendees got a nice swag bag:

Included was a copy of the Getting Started with Arduino and the Make: Special Edition of the Arduino Uno:

I already have several Arduinos so I'm going to give it for free it to a Community member:

Reply to this post with a short description of why you are interested (1 to 2 sentences is fine). I'll then pick a winner at random on Monday, May-27, at 7pm US CDT. Winner chosen!

Note: I'm located in Chicago and will ship it for free to the winner using the lowest cost option available. If the winner is located outside the US, then the winner will be responsible for paying any customs fees or duty that may apply. I will list the value as $40USD.

Cheers,

Drew

Well the reason I should get it cause I live in India and there is not much of practical electronic learning here, so with an arduino I could get started as a first step.

Hello sir,
I am sarthak sethi. I live in New Delhi, India. We don't have proper education here. I also donot have enough money to buy a arduino. I had also tried making my own arduino from old computer parts but i didnot have enough funds to do it as well. Our country has a very low economy. If you say to purchase it, the cost is around $40. $40 in INR means 3,000 rupees

Maybe you can help me. Thanks in advance.
