Research the costs of new and second hand computers in Uganda.
Are they available in or around Jinja?

We probably need someone from Uganda to provide some good addresses :-D

[body] => Dear all, I hope you're doing fine! It's been a bit quiet lately...Are you all eagerly waiting for Pelle's return? :) (Pelle will be back June 4th) Paul and I had a chat yesterday. He has located some computers in Uganda. The cost is approximately $500USD for second-hand computers, or $800-1000USD for new ones. As the computers are in Uganda, they would need to be shipped to Jinja. The distance is 2 hours (80KM) and a truck can be arranged for $100USD. Paul, please correct me if I'm missing something. The question now is to decide on old versus new (the village would save a few hundred dollars in the short term, but the second hand computers may require immediate repair or replacement) and to find funds to purchase and move the computers to Jinja. More to come shortly!
