Donate Your Older Apple Laptop To Help Build Classrooms in Haiti
- Public schools are rare in Haiti. Haiti Outreach is an organization that helps build public schools in Hatian communities that have no public school. So far they have helped build the public secondary school in Pignon, and La Jeune. They have many requests from other communities to help them build a public school.
If you have an Apple Intel powered laptop that you can donate to this cause, FirstTech will refurbish it (if possible) with no labor charge and provide them to Haiti Outreach for the classrooms they are helping to build.
To see how, select "Read More" below.
