Re: [DDN] intercepting donated computers offered to schools in the u.s.
It is an excellent idea to mobilize schools and businesses to donate their old PCs and other IT equipments to developing countries schools. I do know here in London a such ONG which is very successful to recycle thousands of PCs for 26 african countries schools.

Re: [DDN] intercepting donated computers offered to schools in the u.s.
One problem with donating computers for overseas use is that shipping, and sometimes import duties, can be prohibitively expensive. Any ideas or workarounds for that problem from the list? cheers, Laura At 11:59 PM -0800 1/20/05, Nic Ntumba wrote: It is an excellent idea to mobilize schools and businesses to donate their old PCs and other IT equipments to developing countries schools.

Re: [DDN] intercepting donated computers offered to schools in the u.s.
With regard to the community technology centres we are currently developing in the Bahamas and Caribbean, the import duties are completely waived with regard to hardware, software and training supplies. That being said, we occasionally encounter the 7% stamp tax, which can sometimes be waived by the pertinent Minister in charge. The investment authority for the given country is usually an excellent resource for such discussions.
