Here is your chance to get rid of that old computer!

Thanks Andaluz,
Yes it is great that something discarded can be put to good use and that will help someone else.  :72:

We had a great day at the mercado primavera yesterday. We had a couple of laptops donated on the day, and promises of more laptops, towers and computer related item to be brought in over the next couple of weeks. We also had several cash donations which of course help us out when haviing to buy replacement parts when required.

The market was fabulous and was HEAVING all day and we are very grateful to la ayuntamiento de Zurgena for donating the stall to us. We were the only English stall there so it was also a huge honour.

A big thank you goes out to all who donated or intend to donate, and also to all the unpaid dedicated and hard-working PIRdA helpers.  :c017: Without them we could not do what we do! So if there is anyone out there who has an interest in computers, or would like to learn please contact us!

For anyone who was unable to make it to the mercado yesterday and that would like to donate their computer or enquire about helping at our workshop in Arboleas please check out the links to our websites below where you will find full information, addresses and contact details.   :08:
