Computers Assisting People (CAP) brings hands-on technology to hundreds
of inner city children and adults. Founder and Director of the Project, Dan
Hanson is commended for his leadership and his commitment to the
community.

Over the last few years the CAP program has refurbished about one
thousand computers and donated them to schools, senior centers, shelters
and other non-profits in the Cleveland area. <p>

In 2000 they devised a system to maximize their resources through
networking. They identified a number of inner city church and community
centers where the congregations and/or leadership were willing to play an
active role in setting up the lab and also provide ongoing support.
Volunteers were trained to facilitate setting up PCs in a peer-to-peer
network to share printers, CD-ROMs and other more rare devices. By the
third quarter of the year they had already set up about a dozen
training/practice networks in inner city churches and community centers.
