Hey guys...I know I have been conspicuously absent for quite a while...I'd just like to say I miss my old team and all the good times we had. My life has changed dramatically over the past few years, and if you want to know more I'd be happy to share. But for now, I'll skip past all of the details and get straight to the point.
My family and I have moved to the Central American 3rd world country of Belize. We came here to get away from the rat race in America, and so that I could flaunt an entrepreneurial spirit starting my own businesses. We also had a strong desire to be more intimately involved in spreading the truth of Jesus' finished work to the local populations. We arrived in Belize in June, bought a small homestead and started a business selling & installing off-grid solar electric systems, and providing IT consulting services.
I have now also decided to break into an additional portion of the market here, I'd like to run a small computers & networking school to teach the locals about computers & IT work. In order to do this, I need old computer parts with which to demonstrate concepts, and give the students hands on activities with which they can better comprehend concepts they are learning. Here in Belize, antiquated computer hardware is outrageously priced...and I am now shocked at the blasé attitude I used to have with old hardware that I know some of you tend to share. I have a worthy cause and a very tangible need for help from the community right now, and I would be extremely grateful if the community would help me with this endeavor by donating old parts you no longer need to my school.
There is no requirement for parts' age or functionality. Even non-functional parts would be helpful to have physical props to show the students and demonstrate concepts. If you would like to donate, please contact me via PM so I can give you shipping instructions and give me a BITCOIN address so I can refund your shipping costs (in BITCOIN only). I'd like to start the classes in June, and we need to plan about 2 months for shipping logistics...so if anyone is willing to help, please PM me and we can work out the details.
In coming months, I'll be sure to post pictures in this thread of my school in operation so you can all see the fruits of your generosity
A big shout-out to jaymz9350 for helping me with the logistics!
