Each year the American Team engages in fundraising to offset the expenses incurred with refurbishing the computers, transportation of computers, and acquisition of printers and print cartridges. Presently, the Team accepts donations of Pentium II or Pentium III computer systems and monitors.

The Team gathers good quality used clothing to serve as packing materials for the computer systems. Once in Uganda, the clothing is donated to needy families in the villages. In Uganda, the selected schools secure funds to offset the expenses incurred to update the electrical wiring of the classroom to house the computers, build the furniture for the equipment, and acquire stabilizers and power strips.

In-country living arrangements, transportation and opportunities to interact with the people and see the country are arranged by Member of Parliament John Alintuma C. Nsambu, our government partner.

From the beginning in summer 2003, the American Team initiated relationships with a small group of Ugandans to serve as partners in the installation and training work. Our goal is to build a cadre of individuals to train people on maintaining and using the technology as well as to provide on-site maintenance support. We continue to investigate in-country avenues for providing teachers support in using the technology as a curriculum-based tools to enhance the curricular content.
