We have another laptop, bringing the total to ten! How did it happen?
Out of curiosity, an SDV volunteer fell into a conversation with someone wearing a t-shirt featuring the logo you see above. Technology and education - hard to miss this one even in a crowded room.
Well, it turned out that a group of volunteers from Ireland were in Uganda providing IT training to those they had previously donated refurbished computers to. Camara is the name of the organization, and the volunteers are knowledgeable, energetic and shared information and resources freely.
Yet, it was a very pleasant surprise when they asked if they could donate a laptop. They had one to donate and with minimum fuss, it was handed over.
It was refreshing to meet other young people who care about similar things and also follow an open and sharing philosophy. We don't know if we will be able to contribute to their efforts, but we will make sure that the laptop they donated helps educate numerous minds.
Thank you, Emma, Owen and Ryan.
