Before the computers actually got to Africa, a lot of things had to happen. First a deal had to be made with the hospital. They had real concerns about the hard drives being safely wiped. They wanted us to enter into a contract, part of which required a million dollar insurance policy. We had to move the computers from the basement under a child care program that was part of their operation to a Kohl's warehouse they rented. The sewer pipes in the basement leaked. Warren got a severe kidney infection after handling monitors that had been dripped on. There were other hurdles to cross, but that is enough for now.

       We solved all the problems. We got additional computers to recycle which paid the cost of the insurance and added a little cash to Chimorel and to Warren's income. Warren invested well over 200 hours in this project. We established an ongoing relationship with the hospital and were able to recycle beds, TVs, furniture and many other items that have been helpful to our Work for Rent program. Funds were raised and a little more than 500 computers were shipped to Africa.
