WANTED: COMPUTERS AND PARTS (WORKING AND NOT WORKING BUT IN GOOD PHYSICAL CONDITION) TO TEACH UNDERPRIVILEGED TEENS ABOUT COMPUTERS

Hi,

I'm with an NGO called Institut Onn Ja'afar ( https://www.institutonnjaafar.com ) and we've just opened a new Volunteer Centre near Tune Hotel on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.
We're working with Yayasan Chow Kit (YCK) KL Krash Pad and are arranging classes for underprivileged teens which will be taught by volunteers from Twintech University College.
The challenge we are facing is that we only have one working desktop and one old proprietary Dell from YCK at the moment and I don't have the budget to buy more.
So, I'm turning to Low Yat forumers to see if you guys can donate some parts and maybe even working PCs for the volunteers to use to teach the teens some basic computer skills (how to install components and OS, basic computer theory like input-output, etc).
We have 8 teens interested and 3 volunteers, but they can't all share one PC. Three more would be great and we could use some broken parts, like corrupted HDDs and RAM or bad CPUs for them to practice building and for demonstration, or even to take apart and show what's inside.

You can reply here or email us at institutonnjaafar@gmail.com or message us at https://www.facebook.com/iojthetouch. You can also refer to https://twitter.com/iojthetouch and https://www.instagram.com/institutonnjaafar/ for more info.

Whatever the outcome, thanks for reading.

hi, would you like to have parts from really old PC? like Pentium 4 era? i kept quite a few of these PC part for my own projects like running them on linux, but that was the plan... i will list down what i have :-

1. 17 inch CRT monitor - last checked 2 years ago, working condition
2. MOBO + P4 cpu = 2 sets, mobo might be faulty since i never check it
3. SD rams, 2 sets too. but forgot how many gb
4. PSU, sets. last i checked still working

do PM me your location and phone number. i might wanna pay a visit to your centre before donation to you since im keeping this for my own free time project (which i do not have the time) but willing to part away if its for charity. it requires a HDD and a simple casing.
