In the BeginningPSU Facilities and Computers

Portland State University (PSU) and other colleges and universities are required to follow Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 580-040-0300:

(http://www.sos.state.or.us/archives/rules/OARS_500/OAR_580/580_tofc.html),

Surplus property is defined as all university property, including lost,

mislaid or abandoned property, vehicles and titled equipment that is worn-out, obsolete or excess to the institution's needs, or otherwise not suitable for intended use. PSU departments are not authorized to sell or give away PSU surplus property. Property purchased with funds that flow through the university (with the exception of agency funds) or that is donated to the university is considered PSU property.  In disposing of computers, the PSU must ensure all software and sensitive data is erased prior to disposal.OAR 125-050-0310 State Surplus Property Acquisition

(2) Surplus state property must be available for warehouse floor sale or direct transfer to state Agencies, political subdivisions and qualified non-profit organizations prior to public sale. Non-qualifying private entities and private citizens, separately or combined, must not be eligible to acquire surplus state property except at public sales.

Summary of Steps to Take to Process Your

Export 1. Ensure that your export is under U.S. Department of

Commerce jurisdiction. 2. Classify your item by reviewing the Commerce Control List.3. If your item is classified by an Export Control Classification

Number (ECCN), identify the Reasons for Control on the Commerce Control List.

4. Cross-reference the ECCN Controls against the Commerce Country Chart to see if a license is required. If yes, determine if a License Exception is available before applying for a license.

5. Ensure that no proscribed end-users or end-uses are involved with your export transaction. If proscribed end-users or end-uses are involved, determine if you can proceed with the transaction or must apply for a license.

6. Export your item using the correct ECCN and the appropriate symbol (e.g., NLR, license exception, or license number and expiration date) on your export documentation (e.g., Shipper’s Export Declaration).

ProgramChildren Helping Another Childs Education

(CHANCE) Give a child a home and you give them hope; give

them an education and you give them a CHANCE

• We Believe: All Children deserve a good home and an education adequate to meet the challenges of the world.

• Mission:Our Mission is to recycle any educational materials that can be used to advance the education of disadvantaged youth throughout the world.

• Vision:That all children of every nation receive an education in order to be good steward of the world that they will inherit.

Plan of action We will recycle discarded computers; do to upgrades, from

colleges and universities (PSU) in the United States and ship them to Angeles City National Trade School in the Philippines (ACNTS). At ACNTS, the teachers will teach the students how to reassemble the computers, add operating systems, and open-source software, using their existing teaching methods and new open-source iCT tutorial and other teaching tool from the internet. The computers will be used to expand on ACNTS’s Smart Program. They will also teach the children how to salvage any reusable parts for the expansion of their maintenance, and business program. With these salvaged parts, and the expansion of their maintenance program/s, their goal is to make the program self-sustaining and teach the children computer repair. ACNTS will start an Adopted-A-Community through Transformative Education (ACTED) program in which they become sister-sister schools with GK’s iGK program at the Pinagsama village in Taguig city. The children of ACNTS and GK will meet each other and begin a process where the children at ACNTS will learn the pride of helping other more disadvantaged children than themselves in the GK village, by creating learning tools with open-source tutorials and iCT learning techniques. ACNTS will deliver computers to the GK village in Taguig, for the expansion of their Smart Program, and to begin a Gawad Kalinga, Computer-Learning-Center & Internet Café.(Note See tutorials examples)

Plan of action continued

Budget restraints are one of the reasons both Angels City National Trade School and the Gawad Kalinga’s iGK program at the Pinagsama village in Taguig city, charge for the use of their computers, leaving many indigent children and individuals, and even the physically challenged without access to the use of computers, training, and to the internet. Once ACNTS gain access to more computers for their Smart School Program, and their maintenance business expands, they can offer more students free access. Once Gawad Kaling’s Computer learning centers & Internet Cafe is operating, it will allow for the expansion of their Smart School Program, give them another place to offer the children and indigent population computer skills, and free them of budget restraints, helping them to expand their programs to other GK villages in the Philippines.

Goals and Objectives

A. Goal: Recycling for Disadvantaged Children (RDC) Deliver computers to Angeles City National Trade School (ACNTS) in the Philippines.Process Objectives: will recycle discarded computers do to upgrades at colleges and universities (PSU) in the United States, and send them to ACNTS.Outcome Objective: Computers are delivered to ACNTS.

The Philippine Islands are located in the Asia-Pacific Rim, known as the fastest growing region in the world. However, the nation's resources have been stretched almost beyond endurance by a recent series of physical catastrophes (volcanic eruptions, droughts, floods, typhoons and earthquakes). The Filipino economy generates a GNP per capita of $692 in U.S. currency, an inflation rate of 18%, and an unemployment rate approaching 20%.[1] Compounding these conditions, Filipino society must contend with rampant government corruption, guerilla warfare, widespread drug use, a high crime rate and abject poverty. Understandably, computer education has taken a back seat to these tragic circumstances. Yet, some computer education does exist in schools, although not uniformly or equitably. The high cost of equipment and the lack of space limit most Filipino public schools to computer education at the awareness level.

B. Goal: DRC, monitor the programs that are implemented by ANCTS and Gawad Kalinga (GK)Process Objectives: RDC, create an evaluation plan, implementation plan, Business plan, funding plan, and dissemination plan.Outcome Objective: The programs of ACNTS and GK, are evaluated and the result disseminated to other organization for peer review.

The current funding and political environment make it more important than ever that nonprofit organizations demonstrate the effectiveness of their work. Government leaders and the public express skepticism that social interventions have any discernible impact on the problems in our society; public and private funding sources are being eliminated or reduced, and the competition for funds means that nonprofit organizations must offer evidence of their effectiveness. To do so, nonprofit organizations must choose among various evaluation approaches and methods to assess their effectiveness, demonstrate their value to the community, provide useful and usable information, and meet the demands of funders and the public.

Equity ACNTS and Gawad Kalinga are committed to the idea of free

access for indigent students, individuals, and the physically challenged, but the lack of funding for ACNTS and Gawad Kalinga villages is of great concern. This is one of the reasons both GK and ACNTS charge their students and others for the use of their computers and programs. Once we can get more computers and activate our business plan, we can give access to more if not all indigent individuals that seek an education in ICT and computer training as well as access to the internet. Once an internet café is open, the people who go there will know that they will be charged and what days there will be free classes and access to the internet and computers for indigent people. Another major problem is equal access for the disabled:

In terms of connectivity, accommodation of user's needs and services and structures to produce and deliver information goods and services, our current state of development for ICT has not yet responded to the demands of persons with disabilities

With more computers, GK and ACNTS can offer free services to the physically challenged. When installing an operating system we are going to use UBUNTO an open-source operating systems which can be installed in Tagalog which is the national language of the Philippines so that those indigent individuals who can not read or write English can still have access to computers and the internet. All tutorial that are created by the children of ACNTS for the children at GK Taguig village with be duplicated in tagalong.

Evaluation Plan The evaluation will include questionnaires: surveys, and open

source online surveys by Lime Surveys at http://www.limesurvey.org/fr/telechargez.html. The evaluation will be done by Donald L Holmes the executive director of Recycling for Disadvantaged Children who has a masters in Public Administration and Nonprofit Institutional Management. Some of his corresponding classes’ consist of: Analytic Methods in Public Administration I & II. He will also be assisted by Portland State University.

Outcome-Based Evaluations for this program will be based on our goals and objectives and will come from several points:

1. Opinion surveys will be distributed to staff, teachers, students, volunteers and clients requesting response to all areas including computers, programs, tutorials, business plans, and accessibility.

2. On-line surveys and questionnaires will be distributed to students and clients, teachers and volunteers requesting response to the effectiveness of all programs.

3. Evaluation benchmarks include: A. Computer availability B. Level of financial or accessory support C. Community awareness and involvement D. Student and teacher participation in educational programs E. Effectiveness and transferability of tutorials and self-

learning skills.

Page 20: Recycling for Disadvantaged Children and Associates

Dissemination Plan Dissemination of our program evaluation will be a critical part of our

program as we intend to create a PowerPoint presentation and template for ACNTS to expand their ACTED program to other schools and for GK to expand their iGK program to other villages. It is vital to the expansion of ICT education in the Philippine school system as it holds elements of self-sufficiency in funding that other public school can use and the expansion of ICT training for the indigent children, individuals as well as creating environments for the physically challenged to gain access to ICT training, computers, and the use of the internet. We are now looking at the traditional way that nonprofits disseminate the results of their evaluations, such as: Research Fair, Poster, Videoconference, Press release, Follow-up session after project, project Results Meeting, Prepare a document, Email news release, Poster or brochure campaign, Prepare a video or CD, Go on the talk show circuit of TV or radio, Present at school assemblies, Present at faculty meetings, Share with similar or larger projects, Journal Article, Conference presentation We also plan to post the information on our websites, use RSS feeds, Google Grants program, Twitter, face book and other similar sites, the communication network, innovation network’s point K, Blogs, and other online techniques to disseminate information such as Arnova. Information regarding the processing of the program outcome at each stage of the program will be disseminated to all interested institutions through reports and the internet.. Templates for various program models will be disseminated over our web sites as they are developed. Interested institutions will be invited to review and test these models. Our presentations will be available over the internet once they become available for interested institutions. Dissemination of all the lessons learned and program success and failures will be made available to all higher learning institutions (colleges and universities) in the Philippines, United States, and to any interested leaning institution in the world.

Funding Plan Recycling for Disadvantaged Children (RDC), Gawad Kalinga

(GK), and Angeles City National Trade Schools (ACNTS), is dedicated to creating financial self-sustaining ideas for funds and funding. For Gawad Kaling and Angeles City National Trade School please see their business plans.

Recycling for Disadvantaged Children’s goals for our fundraising plan is to expand our funding sources by seeking internal and external avenues for funding such as; seeking local fundraisings, creating future fundraising partners, inviting more external fundraising sources to the organizations table of partners, and seeking to identify more investors in our stakeholders. Our plans include the use of the traditional methods of:

1. Annual Campaigns: to raise money for operating expenses - Many times this takes the form of a “friends of” program.

2. Special Events: to raise monies for annual operating expenses – These events are often thought of in the community as the organization’s “signature fundraiser.”

3. Capital Campaigns: to raise money for new brick and mortar projects or to replace or upgrade existing facilities (If and when needed).

4. Planned Giving: to help secure the organization’s future. 5. An extensive use of the internet and our website

Business Plan Executive Summary We at Gawad Kaling (GK) are dedicated to the service of the

indigent children, individuals and physically challenged of the Philippines. Our goal and main objective is to become self-sustaining in our endeavor to provide educational services to the indigent population of the Philippines. We believe in education as a means of giving the Philippine people a way out of poverty and the cycle of violence, drugs, prostitution and other means that they now use for their very survival. Our desire is to furnish the necessary tools for the indigent of the Philippines to be able to learn Information Computer Technologies, but not only for itself but as a tool to reach other avenues of education. We know that there is a lack of funds for such a mission and strive to help those who can afford an education in computers, their operations, and the internet, to help fund the indigent individuals who can not. Our goal is to create a GK Computer Learning Center & Internet Café'. With a computer learning center we can create a revenue base that will allow us to free up computers at our iGK center for the indigent children, individuals, and physically handicapped. We plan on offering free computer classes so that anyone that is indigent and wishes can gain an education in the basics of computer operation and the use of the internet; through the use of our instructor and open source self learning tutorials. More computers means more revenue and more revenue is the means to the end of computer illiteracy among many of the indigent youth of the nation of the Philippines.
