Happy Monday everyone!

Thank you to everyone who has given to our computer project so far. These computers will go to helping over 16000 youth in 11 different towns and villages throughout Senegal.

If you haven’t yet donated, and are interested, you can read more about the project, and if you’d like to donate, you can do so here (and please designate Senegal).

If you’re donating, please click on the Network for Good (the donate link here), or the blue link on the World Computer Exchange page. This will ensure that even more of your money goes directly to this project.

To give you an idea of what we are going to do with these computers, at my school, we will be teaching basic computer skills, everything from how to turn on a computer, to typing, word processing, web browsing, etc. We hope that by giving students this opportunity, they will be further inspired to work in school and gain valuable life skills. I’ve seen this work before in cities, and I think it can be more effective in rural communities, where these opportunities previously seemed foreign.

P.S.-For everyone who donates, once the computers get here, we will try to skype (or some other form of video chat) you so you can get a personal thanks from the students. I know everyone at my school is very excited.
