Hey everyone! It seems that we have a team from MD coming over to
Uganda and they have a suitcase they’re willing to use for us! It’s
just in time. We’re in such need of equipment, but we have very little
lead time — the gear needs to be in MD by this weekend (Sunday at the
latest).

If you guys would be willing to help, I would really appreciate it. I
thought of spending money to get some of this, but I’ve always been
VERY hesitant on spending on things I think might get donated.

I’m trying to build out some proof-of-concepts for the mEducation
“School in a suitcase” project we’re working on. Basically what I’m
looking for is:

“Portable” USB Hard Drives: 50GB or larger, USB powered, no external
power required. The larger the capacity the better, obviously. Include
cables if you have them.

USB Flash drives: 4GB or larger.

“QWERTY” Wi-Fi capable smart phones: Wi-Fi capability must work
outside US, although we have the capability of unlocking most phones
here.

Flash Memory cards: MicroSD / MicroSDHC / SD / SDHC: 512MB or larger.

Wireless USB adapters: With driver software if you have it. For our P4
and P3 laptops we’ve got.

Unlocked 3G modems (USB) or 3G routers

One MacBook (Just kidding).

2.5″ IDE Hard Drives (>30GB) for our Compaq EVO P4 laptops.

Thank you guys. If you have anything to send, please let me know and
I’ll get you the address!
