The articles below are just a fairly random selection of some of your stories and the Labdoo Team apologizes up front for not being able to push them all due to space limitations.

Thanks for making the Labdoo story possible. The Labdoo Team.

PHUKET, THAILAND – Thanyapura Phuket has partnered with Labdoo, the fast-growing global charity project which sees old laptops donated, cleaned and restored for children from underprivileged backgrounds, and will lead an operation as Labdoo’s Thailand Hub partner in the Kingdom.

The project is led by Thanyapura Phuket’s new President and Chief Executive Officer, Philipp Graf von Hardenberg, well known in Thailand for his pioneering educational work with Yaowawit School in Phang Nga province, a government-approved, public welfare boarding school opened by Her Royal Highness Princess Sirindhorn in 2006 after the Asian tsunami.

Mr Graf von Hardenberg worked closely with Labdoo Hamburg Hub in his native Germany and personally hand carried 14 computers in various trips from Germany to Thailand’s Yaowawit School. The innovative distribution process is called “dootripping”, a new concept of travel to benefit communities by bringing reconditioned laptop computers to schools, ready for use.
