Fifteen-year-old Jacob Komar rebuilds old computers that are destined for the landfill and gives them to needy families. "I started Computers for Communities in 2001 when I was nine years old. I acquired computers that were being discarded from a local school. Then I refurbished and distributed them to families in my community that could not afford to have a computer at home. What a great feeling to see the smiles on those kids' faces. I felt like I was Santa Claus!"…
"Since then," Jacob said, "I have created a nonprofit organization that helps other groups do the same thing: locate discarded computers, refurbish them and distribute them to those in need. To date, we have donated over 1,500 computers!"
Things you can do: Start your own local Computers For Communities (CFC) group; Mentor kids in a CFC group; Make a monetary donation to CFC; Donate your old computer to CFC. Learn all about it on their Web site: Computers4Communities.org
