CFSK (Computers for Schools Kenya) is a non-governmental organisation that works with UK charities such as Computer Aid, to distribute old PCs from businesses in the developed world to the country's schools and public-sector organisations. Part of that work involves the safe disposal of donated equipment that is not in a fit state to re-use. Old cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors make up a large part of this unwanted kit, so the charity has developed a unique method of making use of them — turn them into TVs.

I've got a working CRT monitor and two more to follow. Who exactly wants them, and where do you want them to go?
Your article will achieve maximum impact if you can turn this idea into real collective action.

Hey Russell,
Thanks for your mail. The best thing to do - providing you are based in the UK -- is to contact Computer Aid at the following address and they can help you arrange removal of the CRTs.

P.S What were you planning to do with the CRT's otherwise? Just interested in what other options might be available to you now?
