2. Background Today, we believe: Computers have become as important as books for education and are indeed students’ windows to see the world. Computers will be able to strengthen students’ capability to learn rapidly in this era of technology and internet. However, the facts are: A lot of students especially in developing countries including Indonesia still do not have access to computers. Statistics in 2009 shows that one computer in Indonesia is shared over two thousand students. Ministry of Education is targeting to reach one computer for every twenty students in 2015 [Kompas, 16 Aug 2009]. http://www.alumnisma1slawi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sekolah.jpg Background Solution Vision Action Kick Off Project The Team
3. Background While at the same time: Newer and better computers are produced and replace old ones very quickly within months. So, how about the old ones? Volume of electronic waste is keep increasing especially in developing countries including Indonesia and is starting to be environmentally dangerous [Jakarta Post, 23 Feb 2010]. Up to now, no well known computers reuse, refurbish, or recycle scheme does exist in Indonesia. It is believed that people are by nature generous, and will help others if given the opportunity to do so in a transparent and accountable way [Quote from www.kiva.org]. http://www.unplggd.com/uimages/unplggd/dumped-computer-sz-120709.jpg Background Solution Vision Action Kick Off Project The Team
4. Solution Therefore, to help Indonesia reaches its goal in 2015 or even better, here is a solution. We receive used computer donation from individuals or organizations. We reuse or refurbish the computer, fill it with basic educational software. We send the computer to underprivileged schools and support them on how to use it. We call this social initiative with the name of “Computers for Indonesia”. Together with other working solutions both from public and private sectors, we believe we can reach Indonesia goal in 2015 or even better! http://www.gcpr-blog.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/computer-class-many-students-one-computer.jpg Background Solution Vision Action Kick Off Project The Team
