Bring a computer lab on short term mission trips

"Once installed K12LTSP lets you boot diskless workstations from an applications server. You can use old PC's as diskless clients or buy new ones for under $200 each.

All applications run on the terminal server. Workstations are "thin." They have no software or hard drives. Thin-clients are perfect for schools because they are easy to install and require little maintenance. They are reliable and immune to malicious tampering and viruses.."
Quote from the K12ltsp.org website.

If your short term missions team would be willing to

seek donations of the used computers for the lab (old obsolete ones such as 486 will even work)
do the easy install of the software on the one computer set up as the server
establish the computer lab's network (router, switch or hub, cables)
deliver them on your mission trip

I can help provide

technical assistance (live help) to install the Linux software (k12LTSP or Edubuntu) on your server
continued personal help in the administration of the computer labs after it is delivered through VNC .

Hopefully, after your computer lab is up and working I can interest you in utilizing Moodle to teach your new students. Moodle is a free, open source software designed specifically for online teaching. Moodle will enable you and others to create and teach online courses through the internet after your return . A gift of a computer lab is a gift that will bless them with all the educational and relationships for years to come. Internet ministry

Your inward willingness to obey God is the way to know God's will for your life! Develop this by daily studying God's word and spending time with Him. God has the blueprints of our lives, not us. We are to rejoice in times of trials. Don't regret your past mistakes, just learn from them and realize that God uses them to as stepping stones to mold you according to His purpose for you and to build your character. God is a covenant God. Psalms 25:9 He leads the humble into what is right. John 7:17 If anyone has the willingness to do God's will, he will have discernment. Only His sheep know His voice. Those that are His sheep, her and obey him, not the world. For the world does not know His ways or His voice. So next time you go through the valley (i.e. hard times), remember that God is adding stepping stones to the ones you already have and is shaping you into the person that can carry out His will for you and fell blessed.
