Baton Rouge Non-profit Needs More Used Computers
February 07, 2006

Schools and libraries in the areas hardest hit by hurricanes Katrina and 
Rita are starting to come back on line. Nancy Jo Craig and the CACRC 
(Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council) have been working hard to 
refurbish, donate, and distribute close to 1200 personal computers since 
the hurricanes, and now need more.

She writes me: "I have to tell you sometimes the tragedy of these two 
hurricanes and their aftermath is just overwhelming. It is hard to even 
put it into words. There are places that I have loved all my life that 
just no longer exist. Today for some reason has felt especially hard. 
Everyone in the state is still in a weird state of shock and sorrow.

"We have donated close to 1200 computers. The bulk of these have gone to 
schools in impacted areas, displaced non-profits, area non-profits that 
are working on hurricane relief projects, and individuals. Over 600 were 
placed in schools, 400 in non-profits and 200 with individuals. We are 
running low on computers and hope we can get another round donated. The 
need is still great."

The National Cristina Foundation is helping to coordinate donations to 
Nancy Jo and CACRC, and contact information is below. There is some 
limited funding to help with transportation costs, but it is only for 
larger shipments. Contact: Rob Zopf Vice President of Operations 
National Cristina Foundation 500 West Putnam Avenue, 4th Floor 
Greenwich, CT 06830 203-863-9100 rob@xxxxxxxxxxxx www.cristina.org
