A Tiny Shift
In Connecting Schools

"Our mission is to advance education through access to the Internet in under-serviced schools and communities by providing equipment, services, technical expertise and assistance to educators in areas of computer and Internet use.”.

Projects

A Tiny Shift In Connecting Schools is in start up mode, organizing, defining policies and operational guidelines. We are investigating how to best to raise awareness and funds. Furthernore we are in the process of building bridges with the communities we would like to support.

Until we have developed a clear, transparent, public reporting system describing our activites and finances, we are not accepting donations. However, if you would like to contribute and you live in the Western or Dowtown area of Hamilton, Ontario, we will gladly pick up or take any empty wine, beer or liquor containers that you do not want the refund for.

If you live outside of the Western or Dowtown area of Hamilton, Ontario, please remember there are many other worthwhile causes that would appreciate your support. In Canada alone, we have over 8,000 registered charities and many more non-profit organizations. Three non-profit organizations that Mariane supports with web site maintenance and public relations material are:

Healthy Smiles for Haiti (providing affordable dental care in Haiti)
Canadians In Support of Afghan Women (providing educational support in Afghanistan)
Brighter Futures Association (providing assistance to people in the Hamiton, Ontario area who live on disabillity Allowance)

A Tiny Shift In Connecting Schools has defined one project to develop a software package that will assist organizations with their paper work that> When ready, we will market the package in a manner similar to "Open Source". In this way we hope to earn some necessary capital.

Another project that we hope to develop in future is to find a means whereby like minded non profit organizations can help each other with the exchange of information and experiences.
