Dear Thomas,
I'm very glad to introduce InterConnection to you. You can apply with them to get used computers for your literacy programs in Liberia. Here are the instructions how to apply for used computers:

I'm really glad that WiserEarth could connect the dots to promote recycling and literacy.

Janine,
Liberia is interested in ICT wastes, since the country has suffered mass ridge of war for over 14 years, its education mechanizms have seriously been broken and we are left behind.
Present we run an ICT project and will be interested in persons/organizations that will help us with those wasting computers and IT materials. They are very much useful for us.
A single third hand used computer can change the lives of over five liberia youth. Presently we have about 10 used computers in our computer lab and can take about 20 students a day for 3 months basic computer literacy program.
We would love to hear more from your group on how our organization can get use computers to support our ICT programs.
Thanks,
Thomas Barlue

I've changed the focus of our Recycling group to global, not just Washington State in the US.
Please post about how Liberia is doing in reducing waste. How did you decide to join our group?
Best wishes,
Janine
