ASNEngr Computer Distribution Project Update – Apr 2, 2010
One of the activities of the Chicago area members of American Society of Nepalese Engineers (ASNEngr) has been to provide their professional expertise to fellow Nepalese and others in need. In September 2009, they received some used computers from Siemens Medical (Hoffman Estates, IL). All of those computers needed hard disks and some other peripherals. ASNEngr members from Chicagoland area, the president of ASNEngr and some local Nepalese donated money to purchase necessary hardware required to bring the computers to working order. The computers were refurbished with the parts purchased by the society engineers with these donated funds. These computers were distributed to recent Bhutanese refugees and other Nepalese in the Chicagoland area. So far, 17 families have benefitted from this. There are a few more computers left to be distributed soon. News related to this activity were published in previous editions of this newsletter. ASNEngr is proud to have been able to coordinate this activity and thanks all the donors and volunteers who have helped in making this unique ASNEngr technical and community activity successful.
