We are excited to have been approached by several people and organisations looking for our help. We have requests for 17 computers. Should have the first couple out by Monday. Here's a rough and ready google sheet I made. What we have, where it is going.

- Good Morning 🌞 One of the refugee families we work with was asking ...about a laptop/tablet to assist them in learning English. Not looking for anything super high-tech or fancy. Wondering if anybody was donating one? If not, how would I go about getting one? Thank you. Meer weergeven

Five dell Inspiron 5200 from a kind donor in the Bell tower. Now to find five power cords.
We got this feedback from a family who got one of the early computers: "The kids are on the computer non-stop either playing games, taking English lessons, or watching Syrian soap opera's. It's been a great tool for them ...."
Hi Everyone, we're back after some time in a cabin in the woods. Very excited to have some contact with EMCN and hoping to have a distribution channel set up soon. We'll be responding to all the messages in the next day. Apologies for the brief interruption to service.
Big thanks to the ECA, Edmonton Construction Association for the donations today!

We have great news. Two computer firms in Edmonton have offered us bench space and storage/drop off space.
CD computers in Spruce Grove and Speciality Installations just off Whyte Ave will be able to accept computers.
Let us know if you would like to drop anything off so we can let our partners know there is something coming.
We'll be in touch with everyone who has made an offer or is waiting for more information tomorrow to let them know what's next.
Big shout out to Tom Booth and John Bell and all the staff for their hugely generous offers of help!
Finally our apologies for the slow responses and the uncertainty. We had no idea how this would take off and we all have day jobs.
