Thanks for asking, Jayne. I mostly work as a volunteer. Been doing volunteer computer refurbishing for about 25 years here in the Washington DC-area. The best record of work I've done is in the archive of emails on the E-Democracy Digital Inclusion Network email list -- at [ http://forums.e-democracy.org/groups/inclusion | http://forums.e-democracy.org/groups/inclusion ] and the articles I've written for Opensource.com [ https://opensource.com/user_articles/13589 | https://opensource.com/user_articles/13589 ] Just recently I was appointed the chair of the digital empowerment group in a nonprofit named KindWorks. ( [ http://dokindworks.org/ | http://dokindworks.org ] ). In that role, I'm coordinating about ten other computer refurbishing volunteers. It feels great to be working as part of team. Computer refurbishing is also now an official part of my public library job. I set aside five hours per week of my library job for doing computer refurbishing work. phil --- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Ms. Jayne Cravens MSc Portland, Oregon, USA The web site - [ http://www.coyotebroad.com/ | http://www.coyotebroad.com ] Me on Twitter, other social networks, & my blog: [ http://www.coyotebroad.com/me/jayneonline.shtml | http://www.coyotebroad.com/me/jayneonline.shtml ] Author: The Last Virtual Volunteering Guidebook More about the book, and how to buy it (as a paperback or as an e-book): [ http://www.coyotebroad.com/volunteer/guidebook.shtml | http://www.coyotebroad.com/volunteer/guidebook.shtml ] <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> From: "Jayne Cravens" <[email protected]> To: "inclusion" <[email protected]> Cc: "lt" <[email protected]>, "refurbishers" <[email protected]>, "ctcnet" <[email protected]>, "NDIA Listserv" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 25, 2021 11:41:16 PM Subject: Re: [liberationtech] [Inclusion] One of my 9th grade students, Mahfuz Salifh, is flourishing On 2021-01-23 17:28, Phil Shapiro wrote: > I took him a donated computer three years ago, when he was in 6th > grade.
