Technology For Africa

For anyone who is interested in helping others and spreading education, this project may interest you.

I am a part of a project called Technology For Africa based out of the College of Charleston. The Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) team has been working on this student outreach project for a year and half and this Thursday, February 26, 2009, we will leave for Cameroon with 24 computers in hand.

Our team has raised almost $60,000 to buy 24 computers and set them up in three different schools in the African nation of Cameroon. Eight students will take the computers to Cameroon over their spring break to set them up and train the students to use them for education, communication and to spread entrepreneurship.

Please visit our blog: www.techforafrica.blogspot.com for pictures and video of the trip and news on the trips progress. Also visit our website: www.technologyforafrica.com for more information. We are also still accepting donations as we still have thousands of dollars to raise with less than 1 week until we leave.

Thank you for your support.
