HRTA, Wednesday Night, May 13th, For Camara charity.

From 7:00 to 9:30.

Camara is an Irish charity who refurbish used computers from businesses and send them to schools and colleges in Africa. In 2008 we sent over 5000 computers to schools in Uganda, Lesotho, Kenya, Ethiopia, Zambia, Tanzania and Rwanda.

Each summer for the month of July, volunteers travel to many of these schools to train teachers there in basic to advanced ICT skills and work with our African partners in their computer workshops/hubs.

In July 2009 Francis Marron will travel to Africa with Camara as part of a group of volunteers who will teach IT skills in the schools and hubs where Camara have sent PCs. In order for him to do so he must raise €2500 and between the months of February and July he will be organising fundraising events. All proceeds from these events will go directly towards the Camara Africa project.

Any assistance you can give Francis in his fundraising efforts would be greatly appreciated.

Paul.

Hi Tony,

I'll have to ask Francis, about that, or he might post it up here.

Likewise I'll try my best to attend, but in the event I can't I'd be interested in an answer to CrazyRabbit's question as well so I can make a donation regardless.
