Melanie

A couple of weeks ago Debbie told me that her friend want a computer, and she was willing to pay it off at $10 a week. with $50 as deposit. So one Thursday afternoon I deliver the computer to Bridget's place. Bridget neighbour, Mel, come over and said she also want a computer. She gave me $50 as deposit there and then.

I told Mel that I dont have much time, can only deliver the next week.
So here she is, in front of the computer with her kids.

The day after, she rang me up saying that the CDROM drive doesnt work. I asked her what kind of disk was it? She said PC-CDROM. When I came over that night, I put in the CD and can install it perfectly. (It was a PC game.)

Heck, she doesnt know how to install a program..So I showed her how to install a program from disk.

Amazing how a simple computer can change people's lives.

You too can be part of this. You can contribute to this fund that I am working on, helping people to own computer... like Mel.

She is the first recipient of Computer in Homes Scheme. In my previous posting I explained the system, ie buy a secondhand computer for someone who would not be able to afford a computer, and let him/her pay it off at $10 per week.

Well, Debbie has been hankering for a computer ages ago. she couldnt afford to pay it cash, and hire purchase at Harvey Norman is impossible, given her credit rating and her low income.
So I let her pay it off at $10 per week.

So now she can use it to sell stuff on trademe, surf the net, and chat with friends. Her children benefit too. In fact that is the reason that she should qualify for this scheme, so that her children can be more confident with computer, and hopefully do better in school.

You can contribute too.
Just send some money into my paypal account: nooryahaya@gmail.com
So that I can expand this scheme further, ie buy more computer, to sell to some other families and let them pay it off at $10 a week.

Computer in Homes

Some people in our community..are not well off. No telephone line. No computer.
Their children are behind in school because they cant do homework using computer at home.

For the past few months I have been assembling and put together second hand computer for a few people. And let them pay off at $10 week. A secondhand computer system might cost $300 to assemble, with keyboard, monitor and stuff ready to use.

So with limited amount that I have, I cannot afford to help many people. Cashflow and working capital problem. I had to wait for those whom I help to get computer to pay off before I can buy another computer.

Ideally this scheme that I am thinking off is self financing.
Let say that a computer system cost $400 each. So we sell this computer to Family A, and let them pay it off at $10 a week. It will take Family A 40 weeks to pay it off before we can get our initial capital to buy another computer to help Family B.

So here we go.

I am asking you, yes you the readers to donate some money, so that I can use the money to help others.

In the next few days I will post the pictures and families who has been benefiting from this scheme.

I was thinking of setting up a trust account, but I do not know the intricacies. May be if someone help..
