InterConnection seeks old laptops for Haiti

  • Post author:

We’ve always been huge fans of InterConnection (down on Pacific near Gas Works) for their work refurbishing old computers for poor communities around the world, for providing job training for people here in Seattle and for selling really cheap used computers and parts to help finance those efforts. It should come as no surprise, then, that they’re offering to pitch in how they can in response to the disaster in Haiti. Ally writes:

In the wake of the earthquake in Haiti, InterConnection will be donating laptops to NGOs and aid organizations working in Port-au-Prince. The goal is to get 100 laptops to Haiti as soon as possible. We’ve partnered with World Concern to accomplish this goal. We will be refurbishing the donated laptops and installing French software and sending the laptops to Haiti with World Concern staff members. So if you’ve got an old laptop you’ve been thinking about donating, now would be a great time to do so! More info here: http://www.interconnection.org/haiti.html

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
