Computers arrive at the Dharmarajika Orphanage.
In December 2006, AHAN Nippon Kan General Headquarters in Denver shipped 50 used, refurbished computers to Dhaka, Bangladesh. Six months, one week and three days later, the computers finally arrived!
The journey to Dhaka was only supposed to take two months, but was delayed due to political turmoil in Bangladesh. In an attempt to clean up corruption, the government was taken over by the military, which brought customs to a standstill.
On June 21st, to the relief of both senders and recipients, the computers were delivered to the Dharmarajika Orphanage and to the Paris International School.

This computer shipment was sponsored by Nippon Kan students, family members and friends with $20.00 donations to the AHAN Adopt-a-Computer program. Each computer was refurbished by our Nippon Kan computer team and sealed with stickers containing personal messages from sponsors to the children in Bangladesh who will be using the computers. Many thanks to everyone for your support!
