...and we are getting more excited for each day that passes. We've been working hard with practical issues, sorting equipment and preparing the equipment for the first centre. The staff at the ICT department are well-informed of the project, and we share a common vision of providing as many people as possible with ICT access, and to make the project sustainable.
During the coming month, we will switch to some more personal blogging, and this is a post hopefully to be followed up by many more about the next month of practical work to implement IT Centres around the Mzuzu area of Northern Malawi.
Lately, we have been in close contact, preparing the project with Mzuzu University's ICT head of department, Seyani Nayeja, who has also blogged about the project [1]. …
In the slipstreams of consumer and business habits, FAIR has moved on from CRTs and are now exclusively using LCDs. We would like to reflect this with a little touch-up of our logo.
We still want to extend life cycles as much as possible. But it seems clear that we are at a new milestone: We almost exclusively receive LCD monitors, and CRTs are increasingly energy hogging compared to their …
Oh no! We have depleted our stock of VGA cables in Denmark! If you happen to have a pile of them, please do send them over. We are trying to build a new stock for current and future donations of screens, many of which arrive without cables.
As a new initiative, we are collecting USB flash to hand out to individuals. There has been a very fast paced production of these devices, and many have been given out in commercial promotional activities. Thus, we expect that many of these devices have gone out of use or were never actually used, even though they are extremely useful!!
The recipients of USB flash collected will be teachers at secondary …

Jeg er netop vendt hjem fra en rejse til Malawi, hvor jeg d. 6. juni havde møde med Mzuzu Universitet om FAIRs kommende samarbejde med dem. I mødet deltog 7 personer fra universitetet samt en repræsentant fra den lokale administration af skolevæsenet i området.
Projektet går kort ud på at FAIR donerer et IT-center til Universitetet, så de kan optage flere IT-studerende. Samtidig etablerer vi i tæt samarbejde med universitetet …

Frivillige er kernen og fundamentet i foreningen FAIR og udgør dermed også vores mulighed for at blive større og dygtigere. I Danmark kasseres snildt 500.000 computere årligt - vi har "kun" videresendt 1100 på 3 år og dermed sikret rundt 50.000 mennesker adgang til en computer om året [1]. Potentialet er der for at vi kan nå kæmpe-store målsætninger, blot vi bliver flere!
Nemt og enkelt arbejde? FAIR …
