actionSHIFT international is a simple initiative that collects and sends used computers from Canada to Nicaragua. Begun as an outreach pilot program in 2006 by volunteers from Evangel Chapel in Winnipeg, in collaboration with Centro Cristiano Emmanual in the Nicaraguan capital of Managua, the initiative is now focused on sending full container-loads of reconditioned computers (approximately 800 at a time) to Central America.

Circle recently took on actionSHIFT as a pro bono project, creating the initiative’s name, designing a visual identity, writing texts, and developing initial communication tools. More information is available at www.actionshift.ca
