More than 50 per cent of the residents of the Philippines are living below the poverty line.
Poverty is affecting schools and high school and college students.
Many students cannot afford to go to the internet cafe to do research for their school assignments and homework.
The Dubbo Community Men's Shed Inc. has been obtaining donations of good used computers and sending them to the Philippines for the use of schools and needy high school students.
A Dubbo based transport company, Rod Pilon Transport, is taking the boxes of computers from Dubbo to Sydney free of charge.
A Filipino shipping company, Forex World Pty Ltd is skipping the boxes to the Philippines at a reduced rate.
If you would like to be involved in this community project, contact Cowra 63426553, Dubbo:- Phone 68 820 521 or Canowindra 63442401
