[liberationtech] [NDIA Listserv] Intrusions on privacy - computer refurbishing thank-you video

[Closing The Digital Gap]

Greetings Mr. Phil Shapiro,

We as non-profits find that to be the case, that so many who receive goods
or services from non-profits are reluctant to be identified due to the
stigma sometimes attributed of being labeled low-income.  They are
tremendously happy and express gratitude/appreciation, they even will
volunteer to show this, but do not wish to be named, let alone photographed
or videoed.  We usually ask to use first name or first name and initial in
any testimonials, in which there is a comfort in that once we explain that
our ability to help them or others comes from funding sources, grantors, or
sponsors knowing that there is an impact and services are needed and
appreciated.

However, we as non-profits are always eager and excited to share the
feelings of accomplishment or joy we see happening after a training
completion or equipment recipient receives technology, it is only natural
when you see the mission being fulfilled one person at a time or one family
at a time.

Take care!

Sincerely,

Angela Pruitt, Board Chair
Closing The Digital Gap (CTDG)
