Again, he is a teacher at Garfield High School (robatics) and the kids there put together old computers and then travel to various countries around the world to help install them. He has basically been working with rotary clubs around africa. They are travelling to Ethiopia this september, but their work also includes plans to Gambia, Ghana enxt yar, Cape Verde, (just finished Malawi), and Eritrea. Anyone with contacts on transportation either freight or flight, is encouraged to contact him. Donations for computers are welcome and naturally volunteer help. The website for the school is shut down over the summer but he is very active in setting up contacts within the country. I am considering hooking up for the Ethiopia trip if I can swing it and maybe if I get sponsorship. Im sure he would love to hear from anyone, he has a lot of fingers everywhere. Thanks again!
