Helping the Little Geeks
By Shaun Hatton - June 12th, 2008
The Little Geeks Foundation is holding a computer giveaway today at St. Andrew’s United Church from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The organization is not-for-profit and it collects, refurbishes, and re-distributes donated computers to children in need. Their plan is to give away 200 computers this month, with an ultimate goal of 1000 computers for this year.
“Computer literacy, like math and writing is not a privilege in this country, it’s a right that every Canadian child should experience and Little Geeks is committed to making this a reality,” says Andy Walker, technology reporter and co-founder of The Little Geeks Foundation. “We need more individuals and corporations, like Best Buy Canada, to either donate their used computers or to provide financial support so we can all help make a difference in a child’s life, one ‘little geek’ at a time.”
Little Geeks was recently granted charitable status last year. For more information on the organization, including how you can help, visit littlegeeks.org.
