Thanks for asking, Jayne. I mostly work as a volunteer. Been doing volunteer 
computer refurbishing for about 25 years here in the Washington DC-area. 

The best record of work I've done is in the archive of emails on the E-Democracy 
Digital Inclusion Network email list -- at 

[ http://forums.e-democracy.org/groups/inclusion | http://forums.e-democracy.org/groups/inclusion ] 

and the articles I've written for Opensource.com 

[ https://opensource.com/user_articles/13589 | https://opensource.com/user_articles/13589 ] 

Just recently I was appointed the chair of the digital empowerment group in 
a nonprofit named KindWorks. ( [ http://dokindworks.org/ | http://dokindworks.org ] ). In that role, I'm coordinating 
about ten other computer refurbishing volunteers. It feels great to be working as part of team. 

Computer refurbishing is also now an official part of my public library job. I set aside five 
hours per week of my library job for doing computer refurbishing work.

Could you remind us what your program is that you work with these 
students? Web site that talks more about this effort?
