Chance often leads to requests for equipment. One such case is for computers to be installed in a rehabilitation center for victims of landmines in the Saharawi refugee camps in south-western Algeria. These people have been physically maimed by the landmines that have been planted along the "berm" (a sand wall) that runs the length of Western Sahara, the largest modern minefield in the world. To safeguard the folklore of their people, the elders in the centre are at present dictating their reminiscences to others, who are taking them down in longhand. Saharawis with a mix of disabilities (loss of limbs, blindness, etc.) are partaking in this exercise. For ease of dissemination, they have asked for computers. We are pleased to be able to assist.
