Tech-for-Teaching

Brent International School Manila

During my junior and senior years of high school, I served as president of Tech-for-Teaching, a charity that refurbished donated computers for underfunded local schools.

The work

Giving computers a second life

Our team collected old computers from classmates, parents, and private companies, repaired and refurbished them, and donated them to local schools. Many arrived in poor condition, making troubleshooting and restoration a substantial part of the work.

By the time I graduated, the program had installed more than 80 computers across six schools over ten trips.

Recognition

The program received the first Richard T. Krajczar Annual Humanitarian Award from EARCOS, along with a US$10,000 award.
