We will be joining up with the Ubuntu Florida LoCo and Lakeland Linux Enthusiasts at the Lakeland campus of the Florida Baptist Children’s Home to build them a 6 seat computer lab, as well as installing 6 individual computers in their dormitory houses.
In addition to that, we will be teaching the teenagers there about computer repair and software installation, so bring any working, semi-working, or not-at-all-working computers you want to donate and we will get them fixed and installed for donation to other kids in the Central Florida area. Any donations of computers or parts is appreciated, and will benefit not only the Children’s Home kids in learning, but will also provide a working computer for another child in need, two great gifts with just one donation!
Location:
Florida Baptist Children’s Home:
1015 Sikes Blvd., Lakeland, FL 33815
Time:
10:00 am until we’re done.
A late lunch will be provided for anyone that attends and lends a hand, so please RSVP here to let us know how many people to cook for.
Come and be a part of the fun! Techies and non-techies are welcome, you don’t need to know anything at all about computers to be a part of something special in the lives of these kids.
