Forest Town School is a Special Needs School, (for Physically and Cognitively Challenged learners) mostly from disadvantaged backgrounds. Currently a select few are enrolled under a Work Experience Programme (WEP), which provides various skill development learning courses.

Under this new WEP@WORK program, an initiative has been created whereby these learners who have been skilled and trained in Computer Hardware Awareness will be able to build-up previously redundant computers. These recycled computers will be offered to senior learners for them to take home. This will provide them with an opportunity to learn and keep up with the never ending World of IT.

Aim:

·  The Graduates of WEP, who are able to rebuild and improve these Computers, will gain invaluable experience, team building,  and communication skills which can only improve their self-worth and confidence. This may even enable them to one day find employment in the real world.

· Creating an environment at school where each learner over the age of 17 years is presented with a Recycled Computer. This will unquestionably improve the level of Computer Competency among the learners at Forest Town School.

Our Appeal is for you to donate your redundant computers, preferably not older than 3 – 5 years (mouse, keyboard and cables – the works).  These computers will be tested, serviced, upgraded if required and thus given a new lease on life, allowing each recipient the opportunity to become better educated.

Additional Funding/Donations for new parts like monitors, keyboards and any shortfall in equipment would also be hugely appreciated.

For any further information or details, please contact us directly.

Your waste could become someone’s future.     

Yours in Recycling
