To design a logo for a non-for-profit organization

I'd like to have a logo for a non-for-profit organization that I am starting up. This organization will be based in the US and will raise fund to mainly service in a developing country. The main goal of this organization is to promote higher education for children in rural area (one specific village) at a development country. I'd like to have a logo that can bring motivation to children and their parents when they look at it. In addition, when they see the logo, they think of my organization's purpose.
