WORLDwrite, a UK-based youth education charity, ship quality refurbished PCs to schools and villages in the developing world to help make a small dent in the digital divide. WORLDwrite put global equality at the heart of their mission.

WORLDwrite's next shipment will supply four schools in Ghana. It costs approximately £1000 to ship 12 PCs, including packaging, transport, shipping, port costs, delivery and stabilisers to safeguard equipment from power surges.

At the moment, the charity is looking for funds to ship PCs that have already been donated. They will be able to take further PCs in the autumn, but they can only take working Pentium IIIs and upward.

WORLDwrite has also partnered up with Ghana's first independent film school, the ASA (Academy of Screen Arts) in Accra, to assist aspirant young Ghanaian filmmakers in developing their own voice on Ghana's needs.

To this end, the charity is also asking for working second-hand DV cameras, specifically Sony PD150s and Sony PD170s, along with mini-DV cameras, decks, tripods, film lights, tape stock, wireless and directional microphones, pistol grips, boom handles, trollies, dollies, reflectors and gels. If you have equipment to spare get in touch and help WORLDwrite in their quest for equality.

To find out how to donate equipment, contact them on world.write@btconnect.com or call Ceri Dingle or Viv Regan on 020 8985 5435.
