Refurbished Computers get new homes in Connecticut and abroad
Global Harmony Institute, in partnership with Walker Systems Support, has created the Computer Contribution program to keep used computers out of the landfills and get them into the hands of those who might not otherwise have access to technology.
This past summer was busy in the Computer Refurbishing area to prepare units for the following organizations.
Computers to Nicaragua: The Foundation of Sustainable Development received 10 workstations and monitors to help set up a technology lab for a school in Nicaragua.
