Wow, Thank you all so much for contributing to the Camp Informatique project. I can’t believe we reached our goal so quickly. My co-directors here are thrilled and excited to move on to planning the camp.
I really appreciate every penny that was donated. It is incredibly kind of you to reach out across continents and oceans to give an unknown child a chance to learn how to use computers, especially in this time of financial uncertainty. In this shrinking world we need to reach out to others more than ever, and your individual gift is one of many important acts of kindness and hope.
If you did not get a chance to give to the camp, there are other great Peace Corps Partnership Projects that need funding. I encourage you to browse the site.
All Peace Corps Partnerships come from real community need, have no overhead, and are supported by a community contribution of at least 25%. Most projects, like camps that increase knowledge, confidence, and healthy lifestyles, are rarely done by other aid organizations, and allow Peace Corps volunteers to address real needs that are not being met elsewhere.
After 10 years as a techie in the United States, Rebecca Hunt joined the
Peace Corps in Togo, West Africa. She taught computer skills and
business skills in a medium sized city. After 2 years in Togo, she
moved to Accra, Ghana to work in a internet and mobile telephone
startup.
