Mission Council 7/25/ 17 6:00 pm Good Morning all, For several years, I have been refurbishing old laptops and giving them to people in Medellin, Colombia. All the schools use the Internet extensively for the students homework, and computers are expensive. As a result, many students have to use internet cafes, which are also expensive and noisy. The small netbooks (10 to 12 inches) which were sold here about 5-8 years ago are very popular. If you have an old machine that is gathering dust in a closet, I am sure I can find it a good home! Thanks, Jim Wadell |
