To Languistic: Cheapskateville? 1000 won socks? What are you talking about? You are absolutely right. You are Negative Nancy. I'm sorry you are this type of person.

TFY has received several donations from people in South Korea in the past and will continue despite comments from people like Languistic. Thank you for your support.

Looks like they only want fully assembled computers. I have a box of motherboards and such that I'd love to donate but will probably just end up having to throw out.

You people are being incredibly rude to someone who obviously speaks English as a second language. I think it was not a matter of him being an ass but of him not understanding slang and jokes.

Dear OP:

Who do the computers help? I looked at your website and you have offices in the US and in the Philippines. Where would my old computer go? Do you help disadvantage children in any other countries?

For those who have negative things to say, I extend the opportunity for you to become a member of TFY so you can use your energy and writing towards more positive things in your free time.

Thanks MM. To answer your questions, we are currently helping a community center at Don Bosco Church in Manila, Philippines set up a computer center for kids to use after school. They have 3 very old computers now which are not functional and our goal is to replace them with at least 5 computers that work properly. In the Philippines alone, the opportunity to help is limitless considering the situation in certain areas of the country.
Our goal is to expand further in Southeast Asia. We have a team member in Cambodia who will be able to accept shipments to Phnom Penh in about 3 weeks so we're excited about that. We're looking for more people to join as as members and spread the word about our cause.


To Scotticus. Yes, we can only accept fully assembled computers because we do not have a computer technician to help assemble them properly. Thanks anyway.

Once again, if you would like to join our cause, feel free to join as a member on our website.

If you don't have anything to donate...fine. The silly comments are ridiculous. I hope it makes you feel good.

Any supporters? Thanks to the few people that have contacted us and actually donated something.
