SIFAT (Southern Institute For Appropriate Technology) has a new training
center in Venezuela training nationals from several Latin American countries in
Appropriate Technology and community development.  We are currently
building a computer lab using used equipments (286 and 386 varieties).
We only have two computers functioning at the moment.  We just had 3
training sessions (4 Weeks each) with 56 students from 5 countries. We
are planning to train 60 leaders a year in three sessions.  We will be
sending a shipping container from Alabama to Venezuela on June 5th.  We
could use used computer equipments for our lab.  Please contact us!
