Jukka,
This is awesome. Thanks for doing this. I was involved in a similar
deployment 4 years ago in Ghana. You are asking the right questions as
suitable places with electicity, four walls, and a roof are not simple to
find.
Have you discussed this with the Free Open Source Software Foundation of
Africa (FOSSFA)? They will be happy to help put you in touch with local
NGOs that can plan out good places for an Information Communication
Technology (ICT) Centre. You may also find assistance through a university
as they tend to care about the educational needs of the children nearby.
Lastly, find out what international church is prevails in the area. In
Ghana it was the Presbyterians. Even if you are not religious, these
churches are not to be overlooked as they are well established in the
community, with their own schools, colleges, football leagues, and camps.
One last piece of advice. Make sure your shipper is solid. Even though it
is a donation, once your goods arrive, they could try to get you to pay for
tarrif monies for the entire crate.
You may contact me off list to discuss.
All of the Best,
Beth Lynn Eicher

Hello all.
I think we do not have an Ambassador in Gambia?
I have an opportunity to donate 6-7 Dell computers (second hand, but
cleaned and verified) with monitors and pre-installed Fedora24 on them and
maybe I am also able to find a transport from Spain to Gambia.
Donation will be made for schools, libraries or any place where local
people can have an Internet access and computers can be used by multiple
peolpe. As said, all computers are ready to use and installed and all
computers has the F24/64Live installation extra DVD inside so they can
spread it to others as a Freemedia.
Question is: do someone know anyone over there to be able to seek right
donation places? I have a friend who has Gambian husbend and he will help
if nobody else is found but a local help would be a great addition.
