Qimo 4 kids â NGO Interview 5
,----[ Quote ]
| After a short hiatus Iâm back with the NGO
| interviews. This time I spoke with Michael
| and Michelle Hall of Qimo 4 kids.
|
| [...]
|
| LC: So what is your experience of this good | or bad , have you picked up any nice tips?
|
| MH: Explaining to the people weâre
| donating computers too that they donât
| have Windows on them. How to create a
| custom distro!
|
| LC: What would you suggest to our readers
| that are interested in an initiative like
| yours?
|
| MH: Just do it. There is no barrier to
| entry, you probably have or know
| somebody who has an old computer that
| isnât being used. You probably also
| know a family, school or daycare that
| canât afford to buy computers. It
| takes literally an hour of your time,
| at most, and will have a life-long
| impact on those you donate too.
