World Computer Exchange is sending 10 eCorps tech volunteers to Kaduna, Nigeria for two weeks this August . The team will help with community orientation and computer and network installation. Our team has been invited by the Catholic Archdiocese of Kaduna that is importing 800 computers from WCE Chicago and WCE Vermont to help them connect 20 of their schools to the Internet. These 800 computers are partially sponsored by The Strategic Group in Gainesville, Florida. They learned of WCE in the December issue of GLAMOUR magazine.
