News

WCE Boston Marketing Team last met on May 28, 2008.  Pam Cooney will set a meeting date soon.

We need volunteers to help us test and pack computers at 936 Nantasket in Hull 02045 on the 3rd Saturday of each month from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM.  You do not have to come for the whole day.  We usually can help arrange for transportation.  We provide pizza, beverages and good humor!  When it is nice out, we work outdoors.  Please let  Sumona Dey know if you are planning to join us. 

We also have volunteers testing and repairing laptops on Friday afternoons in Boston's Chinatown.  This is a good time to deliver your working computer as someone can come out and help you so that you do not have to pay to park.  Please e-mail Sumona Dey if you are interested.

Three of our WCE Boston volunteers will be part of 11 eCorps tech volunteers going in August to help train and network 800 computers in 20 Catholic schools in four dioceses in the states of Kaduna, Benue, Plateau and Osun.  We have a story about this on the home page of this website.
