Local Focus
Located in St.John's, Newfoundland & Labrador.
We are a local organization which started on May 28th 2005.and became incorporated on April 16th, 2008 which hopes to expand its
operations throughout the province of Newfoundland & Labrador in the very
near future.
What we do
If they do not already have a computer in their home, it can be demonstrated
that they are in a financial situation that will not permit them to purchase a
new system and they meet all other TFPG INC. criteria, we will supply them with
computer technology for a very nominal fee of $75.00 to $150.00 depending
on the system as well as the training to use them.
We are expanding our recycling and refurbishing and reuse mandate to include
the majority of electronic products available on the market today in an effort
to assist various levels of government and non-governmental agencies to
reduce the demand on our already strained landfill system by way of promoting
its reuse, refurbishing & recycling to the general public through advertising,
informational sessions, E-waste dump and
runs similar to the hazardous waste drop programs promoted by the province
currently once adequate facilities can be secured.
WEBSITE NEWS!!
Subedi
family from Nepal becomes Technology For People Group Inc's first family to
receive a refurbished PC under the Community Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher
(MAR) program.
The Subedi family and Technology For People Group Inc's Executive Director Matthew Della Valle and his daughter Chantelle taking a moment together.
Like most refugees who come to Canada the Subedi family has had to endure a lot as a family to get where they are now. They have had to adjust to a new country, a new way of life and learn how to speak a new language and they are learning quite quickly I might add. They are becoming more skilled and proficient everyday and their newly refurbished PC will only serve to enhance their ability to do so and their quality of life. We were so touched and moved as a staff by how thankful they were we spent a few hours enjoying their hospitality, where we had some wonderful a tasty Nepalese cuisine. We were all so enriched as people after this experience it just felt so right if any family deserved one our refurbished PC's they did. They may not possess a lot of material wealth but they however possess wealth of heart and spirit. They are as a family an inspiration we thank them for allowing us to be a part of that joy.
