A friend of mine is teaching English and computers in Mexico (except the
school 
he's teaching at doesn't have any computers).  He's trying to find 40
donated 
computers for these schools (preferrably 286 and above)...we put together
a press 
release, which follows.  You can e-mail me or call either of the numbers
on the 
press release for more details.  Thanks for reading this!



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kevin Casey, a Denver native, is working with a local 
Denver group to locate 40 donated computers for six 
impoverished Mexican grade schools.  He is also seeking 
transportation for the anticipated computer hardware 
donations to El Paso, Texas.

Approximately 900 students attend the schools in the 
medium-sized town of Parral, in the Chihuahua province.  
The public elementary schools, which primarily serve 
middle and low income families, lack modern resources for 
the children.  Six principals and a local school administrator 
have banded together to acquire donated computers in 
hopes of building a more hopeful future for its children.

The schools in Parral are prepared to send a truck to El 
Paso to retrieve donated computer hardware.  Casey, who 
was sent to Denver at expense of these schools, had 
previously arranged for a donation of 40 computers.  
Through a miscommunication, however, Casey is about to 
return to Parral empty-handed.

Casey is working with On:Line 2000, a Denver-based 
charitable group that receives donated computers from 
corporations and individuals and configures them for 
children from low-income families.
