::Computers For Hope::

Having served in the Peace Corps in Guatemala from 1967 to 1970, I stayed in touch with friends, helping some of their children through school.

On one trip to Guatemala I was asked by one student to meet with Catholic nuns who needed computers for their school. I put up signs in Darien CT and asked friends in New York City, and soon had 20 computers, which were sent to the school.

Word spread in Guatemala and here at home, so through February 2012 we have sent 1500 computers to more than 100 communities teaching computer technology to some 19,000 students annually. Most of our computers now go to Peace Corps Volunteers because we know the computers will be used.

Our computers cost from $65 for a basic computer to $125 for a better computer with a flat screen monitor, with profits going to help build our high school.

::Feedback::

"I can imagine no better way to serve the young and disenfranchised of Guatemala than to provide, as you have been doing for decades, funds for education, and now educationally-formatted computers. For anyone of whatever background or nationality to become a realized individual, having the tools, developing a personal mission, and defying the odds are basic requirements."
