Njideka Harry’s (’04) YTF participating in FollowtheWhiteLaptop Campaign
Njideka Harry (DVF 2003 - ‘04) is the founder and executive director of Youth for Technology Foundation (YTF), an international non-profit organization.
December 2006, Cambrian House Inc., supports YTF through their fundraising campaign “Follow the White Laptop.” The campaign kicked off in September by delivering a new white MacBook to Guy Kawasaki the former Apple evangelist, in hopes of him signing it and sending it off to another “technology rock star.” In last month’s Web 2.0 summit, the laptop was signed by Caterina Fake (co-founder Ludicorp), Jeffrey Bezos (Founder, Amazon.com) and Steve Wozniak (co-founder, Apple).
The goal of the campaign is to get as many signatures from luminaries in the technology sector as possible and then auction it off on eBay early next year.
All proceeds of the auction will be donated to the Youth for Technology Foundation, an international non-profit organization that seeks to bridge the digital canyon among disadvantaged communities in developing countries, starting with the continent of Africa.
