We don't teach starving kids. We feed starving kids through our food for work program. We teach computer skills to kids in established schools that teach all the other life skills, including things like agriculture, math, language, art, etc. Besides that, we're hackers. We breathe technology. HFC exists to use the skills of the hacking community (which is centered around technology) to help those less fortunate. Besides, would YOU eat any agricultural products grown by a bunch of computer hackers? I wouldn't. It would probably be way too caffeinated for my tastes. =) Jake- Yes, these shipments should be tax-free because they are for educational use. We just need the proper signatures and paperwork.
