Big Companies and Schools donating computers to children in Africa; not so.

Today we met Raymond and his wife Irene. Raymond teaches at the University of Education-Winneba in the Integrated Computer Technology Department. These two lovely people, just like everyone we've met, are the nicest, most caring people you could ever meet.

As we sat down for lunch, the question was posed if the 'Laptop per Child Program' was affective. Contrary to common belief, the computers never make it to the classrooms or the children. As the computers go through a series of authority's hands the middle men take the computers and are often later found in shops and stores being sold for a profit. There is NO accountability where they are being sent.

Unfortunately the same things are true for money in the programs that ask you to support a child. If you have, in past, been participating in these programs, I urge you to read above "Rafiki". Attached is a website where you can sponsor a child through schooling.
