This is one of my favourite past times. I have been doing this since late 90’s on both personal and corporate basis. <\/p>\n
I had personally encountered many elders like myself who have been deprived of owning a decent PC (at times even none) or rights to use one. They would also not foot out the money to get for themselves. Many a reason being that they afraid that they might offend or receive severe criticism from their children or friends. <\/p>\n
I m just fortunate to have own not only one but three (a lappy and 2 PCs) numbers solely. My other family members have their own. <\/p>\n
I believe its high time that I should push for such cause. Together with interested members here, we can help bring our non-IT savvy (dont know) members to the minimum level and not left behind in the digital divide. Many may still not choose to pursuit but decisions are theirs. <\/p>\n
Since all information about what’s happening in SHC is web-based, it would be good if members keep themselves updated by surfing the SHC’s homepage. Being IT-savvy, it will give you an edge over getting information faster and better than those who are not. On the other hand, people cant take you as "handicapped". <\/p>\n
So much for the blah blah blah. Let me take lead in what we can do with your help. We can go on a 2-prone direction by providing 1) hardware (PCs) and 2) software (home guided learning). <\/p>\n
The Task –<\/p>\n
1. Get members to donate their unwanted PCs.<\/p>\n
2 Match and identify members (those who are not doing well or receiving no income and dont own any) who want to own the PCs.<\/p>\n
3. Get members who wish or would like to provide home guided learning. <\/p>\n
4. Match and identify members who need home guided learning.<\/p>\n
5. Get members to form core group to refurbish the donated PCs at donors’ premises or otherwise. <\/p>\n
Nothing is called achievement until the time you bring back the life of a machine that has reached its "EOL" (end of life). <\/p>\n
Should we do not not to do, your responses are very important. <\/p>\n
