There has been much mention for the need for computers and equipment in Honduras as well. Once strong ties with industry have been made and the associations which represent them; when supplies, computers or equipment was available or surplus existed it would have a much better chance in getting to where it needs to be, so that it can be put to good use. Our nation has abundance and overflows that are desperately needed in Honduras right now. One thing that people do not understand is that without electricity many of the things we think that people in the rural areas of Honduras need they cannot use due to the lack of power or electricity. However, with a clearing house the exact needs and specifications can be posted and those listed items have a much better chance of being found and united with the non-profit mission groups to Honduras which seek them.
Indeed perhaps eBay might develop such a system as part of a pilot program to help give back? Maybe Dell Corporation in Texas might offer use of their IT system, website or servers and assist in collecting trade-in computer electronics, which could be donated.
The Clearing House system should also seek those with expertise and know-how, even plans and designs for simple systems for sewer treatment, energy making devices, water filtration and building designs using local brick, concrete and/or wood. With 100s of plans a Honduras Mission team can look to find one which is most suited for the project for a particular village during their next visit.
