On the 1st March – a beautiful day for a collection – Andy and Ally travelled to Chatham to collect 47 computers from the Medway School of Pharmacy. The school has just updated their IT equipment and were extremely happy for us to take the old computers off their hands to be given a second life in Africa.
Professor Iain Cumming, who is the head of the school, had this to say: "We were delighted to be able to help educate and develop skills for those overseas who may not have the same opportunities to get access to computers. As with many things good timing was a major factor here! However, this has enabled us to be able to provide resources of real value, rather than spend money on looking for suitable ways of disposing of these computers. I would encourage others to participate in these valuable initiatives wherever possible."
