What is AHSCD
Africa Will Not Be Left Behind
The ahscd project is an effort to help bridge the information and
technology
gap between Africa and the rest of the world, by providing computers and
computer software to African high schools. Through volunteerism and
sponsors,
we hope to provide within the next 24 months, over 5,000 computers and
computer
softwares to hundreds of high schools across the continent.
The process is very simple, our volunteers( including you -we hope)
individually
or in groups will solicite use or new computers in their
neighborhood(offices,
companies and educational institutions). This process will not end
there.
They will be involved in donating these computers to high schools on the
continents. For example, if volunteer A(or a group) is able to solivite
25 computers. In conjuctions with our sponsors and using a list of high
schools in our programs(we are also soliciting registration and
participation
from High schools across the continent), the volunteers will be
encouraged
to be involved in the donation ceremony in the specific high school on
the
continent. We are also calling on corporate sponsorship and
participation
in the shipping and donation of the computers.
If you want to make a difference, we invite you to send a letter,
with
your name and address and telephone number to : The Executive-Director,
Council For Africanaffairs. Box 282. Teaneck Nj 07666. USA.
