On December 31, 2009, YCWL leaders took delivery of a donation of high-tech computer equipment for their offices.Thanks to the Equip-Africa program, a shipment of 42 refurbished computers, clothing, text books, shoes, offices supplies, etc. made their way to Liberia for YCWL and MOPGEL, another local nonprofit. The materials were distributed accordingly. The donation will greatly increase the level of service that YCWL staff can provide.
