SCARF
One day M was having a general discussion with parents of a friend & we got onto SCARF. SCARF stands for Strategic Community Assistance to Refugee Families.

SCARF is an independent, not-for-profit, community based incorporated association established to enhance the resettlement process of permanent resident status refugee entrants in the Illawarra Region of NSW.
Was great to here that the Illawarra region was contributing to a worthy cause. By chance our company was looking for charity groups to donate old laptops (HP NC4000s with O/S & licence). Bingo, M organised 19 laptops for SCARF with an option to get more as time goes by. This was great to feel that we could contribute to something. M trained J to build laptops from scratch with Windows XP SP2, OpenOffice and all patches. We split the workload between the two of us plus another IT volunteer. All finished.
J may assist in teaching subjects as a volunteer once the kitchen is completed.
Ciao, M
