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!On Wed, 17 May 1995, Peter Wynia wrote:
