computer tracking export to developing world

This page is dedicated to despatch of Computers to be exported to Africa. It can take a few months from Uplift until goods reach receiving community.

What I have done on this page, is to give a full tracking update of equipment from uplift to delivery at destination and how they will be used. I will always recommend Digital Links as a reputable company for distribution and if required, computer drive wiping service.

On the Digital Links Website are comprehensive resource information pages and will highlight any company in it's prestigious list of Donors section (subject to web-space available for listings). Although not all names appear on their donors page, I have been informed that it will be looked into to see if the full list can be displayed as it was before their website was upgraded earlier this year. To appear on the list is fantastic pride of stature in the striving to recycle and help education in the developing world. Many "BIG" names already appear on the lists and a move into the direction to use Digital Links to distribute old stocks, is not only great P.R. but also evidence that you do care.

If you require assistance to coordinate the uplift of qualified stocks and would like my help to organize it for you like I did for donator below, please forward an E-mail to me at: gordon@thedotdots.com and I will make every effort to be available to help your mission work. One really good benefit will be; if I am able to assist you, then the full updates and pictures can be added to this page, on display for other like-minded caring people and organizations like yourself.

13/03/06	IT Aid	Update to statements: Donating almost FOUR TONNES of equipment, Nobilas have been acknowledged by Digital Links as one of the biggest donors out of 150 organisations in 2005 and out of many thousands of computers that DLI processed to Africa from various donors, a DLI Lab has been set up in Mumias Secondary Vocational School for Deaf Girls, Western Kenya. The Principle wrote back in thanks and stating "The impact of the changing technology in the job market makes it very essential to train the hearing-impaired girls to enable them to fit in the society that is very competitive". DLI computers have been used in Tanzania at the Ilongo Youth Centre, a highly effective project which aims to raise awareness about HIV, as well as creating social and economic opportunities for young people. A DLI Computer Lab has been set up in the Methodist Girls High School, as part of the Sierra Leone Connect Project receiving great enthusiasm by all. One return comment was made: "For me, computer studies is one of the most important subjects, as well as being the one I like most. I think being computer literate will make a difference for me once I graduate from school, especially in terms of finding a job". In September 2005, DLI launched Project Digital 10 20 10, aiming to bring the benefits of IT to ten million African school children by the year 2010. They intend to work towards this goal through 2006 by expanding partnerships and projects in the developing world. Item List
