Korean company donates used PCs to PH schools

A South Korean company has donated 50 used computers to several schools in the Philippines.

Six schools in the Philippines received the desktop computers from TSIS. The computers were used by TSIS engineers for three years.

"Our engineers need high specifications (for the computers). Three-year-old computers are old for them but they are still good for ordinary users. The second-hand ones are still good enough so we try to find the proper organization that will benefit from these old computers," TSIS chief executive officer Ted Kang.

Kang said the company believes students should have same opportunities when it comes to education. This is why they chose to donate the computers to schools in the Philippines.

"Nowadays, the quality of education is not just about books anymore. Students need to be connected to the world. If they are isolated they will be behind," he said.
