Wiltshire: Plea for Laptops & printers
An urgent request in case any of you can help.
A large number of Afghan families are now moving into Wiltshire and they all need laptops (preferably with printers) for their personal administration, for home learning and so that their teenage children can complete their homework.
I know that the council case workers and volunteers have already put in a request to the Digital charity but there is a waiting list of several months apparently so if anyone has spare laptops gathering dust please contact Jane Ebel on musecic@gmail.com
