Seattle, WA (PRWEB) January 20, 2010 -- InterConnection and World Concern have partnered to send refurbished laptops to Haiti. Anyone can help by donating a working Pentium 3 or Pentium 4 laptop by mail, shipping costs will be covered. Equipment will be refurbished, equipped with French Microsoft Windows and Office, shipped to Haiti and deployed as communication hubs wherever they are needed the most.

Imagine the loss of computers in this disaster. Schools, hospitals, NGOs would all have lost hard drives and laptops. They have no resources to replace these items.

Susan Talbot, with World Concern states, "Imagine the loss of computers in this disaster. Schools, hospitals, NGOs would all have lost hard drives and laptops. They have no resources to replace these items. We work with orphans and vulnerable children and their caregivers. We have five offices around Haiti having sustained unknown amounts of damage. Our capacity to respond to disasters relies on our capacity to communicate not only with each other but with donors and funders, sharing beneficiary stories."

World Concern is a humanitarian relief organization and their primary office in Port Au Prince was damaged by the earthquake and nearby buildings collapsed. Some of their staff are unaccounted for, yet they still are working to provide blankets, plastic sheeting and emergency supplies of water. www.worldconcern.org

InterConnection.org is working with World Concern to help start the rebuilding process ... InterConnection will wipe the hard drives of donated laptops, test them, and install a French version of Windows and Office for use in Haiti. World Concern staff will bring the laptops with them on their flights to Haiti.

To donate a laptop go to www.interconnection.org/haiti - just fill out the form, package your laptop and ship it from anywhere in the US, and if the laptop is functional and new enough ( Pentium 3 or 4) shipping is free and a free label will be provided

The goal is to ship 100 laptops to Haiti. Some laptops will be used to sponsor the cost of refurbishing and prepping the laptops.
