Subject: [wa-afr] Garfield´s computer revamping group

For anyone interested in contacting my brother Kjell Rye or my niece, Linnea 
Rye about their work with bringing and installing computers in various 
countries their email address is [log in to unmask]
So far he is using peace corps volunteers and help from alaska airlines 
cargo planes to bring computers to various african countries. Again, he is a 
teacher at Garfield High School (robatics) and the kids there put together 
old computers and then travel to various countries around the world to help 
install them. He has basically been working with rotary clubs around africa. 
They are travelling to Ethiopia this september, but their work also includes 
plans to Gambia, Ghana enxt yar, Cape Verde, (just finished Malawi), and 
Eritrea. Anyone with contacts on transportation either freight or flight, is 
encouraged to contact him.  Donations for computers are welcome and 
naturally volunteer help.
The website for the school is shut down over the summer but he is very 
active in setting up contacts within the country.
I am considering hooking up for the Ethiopia trip if I can swing it and 
maybe if I get sponsorship. Im sure he would love to hear from anyone, he 
has a lot of fingers everywhere.
Thanks again!
Chris Welander
