A U.S. military air cargo plane arrived in Montevideo last Thursday, transporting under the Denton Amendment, a donation of recycled computer equipment made by the North Carolina NGO Computers for Schools International to local primary public schools.

200 boxes on 3 skids containing more than 150 computers with printers and accessories, computers parts, and several math textbooks were presented by the U.S. Embassy's Political and Economic Counselor Oliver Griffith and U.S. Navy Commander Rolfe White to Maria Nelly Arispe from the National Administration of Public Education (ANEP).

The Denton Amendment allows the Secretary of Defense to transport, without charge, supplies furnished by nongovernmental sources intended for humanitarian assistance.
