[Alex Gakuru]

I read an article which I thought would be nice to share with everyone because it demonstrates the Internet facilitating in saving lives and giving hope.

  Subject: [Chapter-delegates] Latest information on resource needs at theshelters..


  As of this morning I spoke with the SBC lead on the relief efforts are here is what is needed:

   

  AMD has donated 50 pc but we need monitors for them.I have a call in to the head of corporate marketing for Altex but unfortunately the corp. offices are closed until the morning.

   

  IBM donated 50 laptops unfortunately the touch pads are not being utilized by a lot of the survivors so I was asked to come up with 50 USB mice that could be connected to the computers instead..

   

  Also the people manning the stations at Windsor at some of the locations need relief.people who are able to go and help with showing people how to use computers are welcome.  Also a basic knowledge of computer troubleshooting is needed but not required.as some of the computers go down and they stay down until someone who knows how to fix it comes along.  IF anyone would like to volunteer I would ask that you let me know so that I can coordinate with our leads at each location.

   

  Lastly, I was asked if it was possible to put up a website for the SA effort with basic information and directions/maps to the different locations.if anyone would like to take that on let me know and I will get you the information that needs to go on in.  I am willing to donate my server for hosting..

   

   

  Thanks
