West Ottawa High School Students Refurbish Computers for Cameroon Counterparts

By Myron Kukla

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP -- For the past four years, West Ottawa High School student Lacey Vande Bunte has given up her Sunday afternoons to rebuild computers.

Vande Bunte is part of the student group Cultural, Technological, Environmental Exchange, which over the past 10 years has rebuilt and donated more than 1,500 computers so students in the West African nation of Cameroon can use technology in their schools.

Next month, another 200 computers get shipped to Cameroon through the CTEE program, said Vande Bunte, a senior who has become a whiz at pulling apart computers and rebuilding them.
