We use a mixture of new laptops and second hand ones at CEF. If they are donated to CEF and are not too old and in good working order, we repair them all and give most of them to the students who need computers. We also use some in the office until they get too slow for the staff to work on. Then we repair again and pass onto our students who need computers, for just doing simple things like writing assignments.
Recently two of the staff computers got to that stage and these two staff were thrilled to get new laptops. Without non-specific donations we could not do this. So we are very grateful for these donations. Now they can do their spreadsheets on costs of the students, estimated costs for our education programs and support programs, their reporting on their students, researching, preparing powerpoint presentations for workshops, then storing work in dropbox and much more.
Thank you!

I am writing this note to express how
thrilled I am at having a new work laptop.
My old computer one was second hand but it was a good quality one except
for not having a battery that worked. I had problems when the electric power
was cut off suddenly while I was working. Now, I am working without worrying
about the power going off. I am sure the new computer will help me work more
quickly and efficiently. Thanks so much for giving it to me!
