Greetings,
I'm currently working as a online faculty member for a number of colleges located in the U.S. I reside in the Philippines in the province of Pampanga. I teach information technology classes to students attending college online. This is my full time job and with so much free time I've begun traveling to different regions of the Philippines. As long as I don't wander to far off the grid I have Internet access.
In my travels I like to stop and visit the rural schools and see what I can do as far as providing some type of tech support or other help with any issues the schools maybe having with technology.
More often than not these schools don't have a single computer for teaching computer literacy to their students. My hope is that if any readers have some older desktops, laptops, monitors and mice and keyboards they plan to donate and they could be refurbished, they'll consider putting the recyclables into a shipping container called a balikbayan box http://www.balikbayanbox-shipping.com/. These are shipping containers that can be picked up at different locations in most cities and from just about any Filipino grocery store in your area.
I have central point of contact that I use for all packages:
Janis Salipot Serrano
53-A Abad Santos Street
Plaridel 1 Malabanias

I've received balikbayan boxes containing computer parts but the CRT or the old style monitors just don't hold up well. If you have some flat panels that need to be recycled, those would be best. The parts don't have to be working though I prefer they just need to be cleaned up. I have others here that have offered there time and expertise in repairing the items.
My Skype is ckrahenbill and my Magic jack phone number is 520-812-0246. Thanks and have a great day!
