Dear CIS,
I'm at the computer for schools workshop in Jamaica.
The presentations are very interesting and as a result the discussions
are very lively. The CFS program seeks to transfer a model that works
excellent in Canada, Colombia and a number of other south American
countries, where used pc's get refurbished in different organizations:
schoolbased, semi-commercial and social-entrepreneurial programs.
I think it certainly gives an option on reaching the schools with
computers faster then we have until now, creating technical and
professional IT personnel and creating jobs.
Some people are a bit skeptic on the usability of the computers, the
life-time and getting rid of the waste.

Different country presentations are being made.
Anyway, I'll send a mail on how it goes.
Kind regard, Reina Raveles
