: The Common ScoldLAPTOPS FOR KIDS
Sheila Mackay, of Daegis, and Colleen Clark, of Bingham McCutchen, are involved with a terrific project to help youngsters in Otavalo, Ecuador. They will travel to the country next month, on a volunteer mission with an organization called People Helping People. The Azama Project has helped the community of approximately 3,000 people to build a primary school and a medical/dental clinic.
One of their agendas is to incorporate the goals of One Laptop Per Child, a worldwide program that has been working to provide children in developing nations with affordable access to a computer, into The Azama Project, and they are asking our legal tech community to help, by making a tax deductible donation to People Helping People, targeted to The Azama Project's new laptop project.Our deadline to bring these laptops with us for the holidays is the end of November. Please send a check to:People Helping People
