Laptop computer

Bruce from Havelock North

This is a massive thank you to Age Concern and in particular to Carol Winters for coming to our assistance when we requested a laptop as our one had given up. What is so significant about this gesture, of one community organisation coming to the aid of another similar organisation, is the fact that Carol donated us, not one but two laptops so we can use one as a backup system. To Age Concern and Carol, you are amazing and we greatly appreciate what you have done. Thank you so much.
