When Fanshawe international business management student, Emmauel Asafo-Adjei, attended a presentation from Valentine Sualley, executive director of the non-profit organization “Computers for Schools, Government Technical Institute in Sierra Leone,” he was immediately inspired to help through a school project.

Needing an idea for his independent work project, and having been involved in school supply donations to Africa for the past three years, Asafo-Adjei, originally from Ghana, immediately began researching ways to support the organization.

So far he has spoken to the IT department of Fanshawe and the University of Western Ontario, and has received positive responses, he said. Fanshawe is apparently doing a big in-house cleaning and he believes he'll be able to get computers that way, he added.

Right now, the major concern is shipping costs. Asafo-Adjei is currently working with fellow international business students, Karthik Balakrishnan and Stephen Lewis, and Red Arrow Digital College in Halifax in the development of a website which will allow people to donate online — it is set to launch this weekend.
