Dear Sir,
Thanks for forwarding me emails about volunteers. I have responded to those emails.

Kindly refer to the attached .txt file.
waiting for the reply.

There is a school "Chhatrapati Shivaji Vidyalay" in the Paud village. It is around 25km from Kothrud area. There are around 1100 poor students take education from 5th to 11th Standard.
The school has already have 12 computers and we have already provided them computer furniture for the lab setup. The electric points are ready..only we are left with networking and LINUX installation.
For the same, we require:
1) 16 port switch (Rs. 3500/-) 2) 12 LAN cards, (350*12 = Rs.4200/-) 3) 80 meter cable (10*80 = Rs. 800/-)
The total cost of this will be around Rs. 9000/- (including switch, LAN cards, cable etc..)
How you can help us?
1) If you are from hardware and networking background, you can help us in actual establishing networking setup.
2) If you are aware about LINUX installation and different LINUX vendors like Mandrake, SUSE, RedHAT etc.. you can help in installation
3) Since, the cost will be around Rs.9000/-, if you want to contribute something, you are welcome for the same.
We want to execute this activity on coming Saturday / Sunday. It will take aroung 5 hrs.
It is important to inform you that this project will provide free computer education to 1100 poor students on the LINUX platform.
If you have any further query, feel free to contact.
waiting for the reply.
