Hundreds of laptop and desktop computers are available for $100 or less to coastal First Nations.

That’s the message from Darren Blaney of Homalco First Nation. Darren who has already bought refurbished computers from the BC Technology for Learning Society. The 18 laptops cost $100 each and desktop computers were $40. With them, Blaney helped start an elders’ computer course at Homalco with added teaching about cellphones and cameras.

The society runs the Computers for Schools program in BC. It refurbishes computers and other equipment donated by governments and businesses. They are distributed to schools, libraries, and registered not-for-profit organizations.
