Working both locally and internationally, the Cornell Computer Reuse Association, a small group that formed less than two years ago, recently collected, refurbished and distributed over 500 computers. Among the recipients were Ithaca’s Computer All Stars program and other local activities centers. Its next task: sending large shipments of computers to outdated schools in Ghana, Rwanda and Afghanistan.
The CCRA collects computers, monitors, printers and other technologies that have been replaced or broken from all over the Cornell campus. Their main contributor thus far has been from the Cornell University Library system.
