Food for the Poor
COCONUT CREEK, Fla. (Oct. 26, 2011) — ServerPronto,
home to the world’s most affordable dedicated server, has partnered
with Food For The Poor to outfit schools in Jamaica, Haiti, Grenada,
and Guyana with 100 computer workshop sets which will accommodate 600
students at a time.

“ServerPronto is committed to serving the needs of financially
disadvantaged youths around the world. In order to drive a competitive
workforce in a high-tech, global economy, learning computer skills must
be a priority for students,” said Chris Kurzweg, Managing Director of
Infolink Group, Inc., the parent company of ServerPronto.
For this project, Food For The Poor utilized Ncomputing X550
technology that allows sharing of one PC with up to six users. One of
the additional benefits of using this system in developing countries is
that it lowers electrical consumption requirements by 90 percent. Food
For The Poor has an ambitious goal to distribute 40,000 computers in
the Caribbean and Latin America.
By providing computer labs for schools and orphanages in developing
countries, Food For The Poor’s generous donors offer students a higher
level of support. Instead of being disadvantaged, the children have the
advantage of a full computer lab in their school/residence, along with
individual instructors who teach the basics of computation as well as
assist the children in their homework assignments and online research.
“Many schools are literally starved for funds to purchase new
computers. ServerPronto is grateful for the opportunity to help,” said
Kurzweg. “Just as our customer base is global, our charitable efforts
must also be global. This is the beginning of what we hope is a long
term partnership with Food For The Poor.”
