The computers will be utilized first to assist and empower our Houston area Community Technology 2.0 sites (<a href="http://www.techforall.org/community_technology2.0.html">http://www.techforall.org/community_technology2.0.html</a> ) where we are focused on building the capacity and effectiveness of CTCs serving Houston Hope (<a href="http://www.houstonhope.org">www.houstonhope.org</a> ) neighborhoods. TFA staff and volunteers will be working together over the next few days to develop a plan to fully deploy the PCs into all the neighborhoods we care about. One of those neighborhoods is Pecan Park, the East End neighborhood that surrounds TFA's office. TFA-Wireless provides wireless Internet access in the neighborhood. Many of the computers will be re-deployed through "Learn and Earn" programs with HISD students in the neighborhood. When the plan is finalized we will report back here.Will Reednoreply@blogger.com
