Having served in the Peace Corps in Guatemala from 1967 to 1970, I stayed in touch with friends, helping some of their children through school. On one trip to Guatemala I was asked by one student to meet with Catholic nuns who needed computers for their school. I put up signs in Darien CT and asked friends in New York City, and soon had 20 computers, which were sent to the school. Word spread in Guatemala and here at home, so to date we have sent almost 800 computer systems to schools, orphanages, libraries and individuals, some in partnership with Peace Corps, Catholic Charities, Child Aid, numerous NGO's, and a non-sectarian Quaker scholarship program. We have also donated 40 computers to local charities.

We also have an eight acre recreation park “Nueva Vista” with playground equipment. We are growing fair trade coffee in the park and will use the profits to support the computer projects. Almost half of the park has been set aside for a suitable project such as a school or orphanage.
