The Motherboards Are Here

The Motherboards Are Here

Sorry for the sporadic (and short) updates lately — first my laptop charger died on me, plus I’ve been really busy. With that said, the busy-ness (business?) has paid off recently, and the motherboard shipment has arrived! We now have 38 computers here. Three will be used in the ISP downstairs, meaning we have 35 computers to distribute. I’ll test each component individually, and once we get the rest of the components (all but one of which have shipped — the monitors), I will assemble them in the cases and start distributing to schools. I have until the 17th of December, which seems to be enough time. I hope to spend a day or two with each school making sure they know how to use the computers. I will also leave them my email address in case they run into any problems.

Also, I will be selling prints and photobooks (published through Blurb) of the photographs I have taken in Nepal to date. All proceeds will go towards funding more computers. I can either deliver prints in person in Hong Kong (I’ll be in HK from the 18th of December to mid-January), or you can get them online through a web service like Snapfish. I can print up to 40 x 30″, but any size below that is possible. Almost any of the photos you have seen on the blog can be printed, so if you have a favorite, let me know.

That’s all for now.

About the Author

I was born in London, England. At the age of ten, I moved to Hong Kong, which opened up a whole new part of the world: Asia. Since then, I have enjoyed traveling to different locales around the world. Having graduated from High School, I am taking a gap year to work on a computer project in Nepal, and later a cultural immersion trip in Ghana. This is the blog I am using to keep the world notified.
