Dr Dawn Watson works tirelessly for the Rotary. She is a terrific
contact - Her contact details are 9337 4710 or dawnwatson at yahoo.com.
Dawn was a State Councillor for the CEGV for many years, and was a
pioneer when computers began in education....

Dawn worked at Victoria University, and through her contacts there,
she
can refurbish computers and ensure that they are in good working
order.

She is always up for a chat and on the lookout to help disadvantaged
students both locally and also disadvantaged communities overseas.

Stupid question, but isn't there any organisation working with
disadvantaged kids who wouldn't mind using even an outdated computer?
Somewhere?

Meh, we just dump ours in a large dumpmaster at the nearby Camberwell
Waste Transfer centre in Riversdale Rd...8^)

And before you write to flame me for it :

When it first started, there were statements made that it was a trial
that might be rolled out to other councils, but I haven't heard
anything
about it after that although the original program still runs. Still,
if
you have a lot of stuff to get rid of it could be worthwhile making a
special trip if you can't donate it somewhere useful and don't have
the
time to set up the internet on old machines. Or if the stuff has
ceased
to function and is uneconomical to repair.
