Adventures in France, AmeriCorps, and the Peace Corps in Cameroon, Africa (required disclaimer: these are my thoughts only, and do not reflect those of the Peace Corps… etc.)
My name is Emily. I am former PCV-Senegal volunteer.
I work with the World Computer Exchange, a non-profit that ships refurbished computers to developing countries. We are looking to partner with a current PCV in Cameroon. I came across your blog about the computer lab, and thought you might be a good person to contact. If not, any pointers in the right direction would be great.
While I was a volunteer in Senegal I built a computer lab in my village that consisted of 20 computers and 3 printers. There are currently about a dozen volunteers there raising money for another shipment of computers and we are hoping to reach out to some Cameroon volunteers who would like to do the same.
Would you or another PCV you know be interested in working with us to deliver computers to Cameroon? It requires some fundraising by the PCV, but is a very cost-effective method for supplying schoolchildren with (good, working) computers. Any contacts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
