Bringing Information Technology To Walgreens And Computers To The World, Millie Liggins Is An Accomplished Professional!
More often than not, when the mainstream media discusses the tech sector and the businesspeople within it, they convey information about executives who make hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars each year. There is another side to the tech sector, though, and that is the charitable side. There are many executives in the tech sector who, upon seeing the profound influence technology may have on one’s quality of life, become inspired to spread technology to the underprivileged. Millie Liggins has seen just how great IT can improve a company and in her spare time, the works to spread technology through the World Computer Exchange!
The World Computer Exchange is a charity that raises money and collects technology to send computers to impoverished nations around the world. In addition to supplying technology, the WCE has volunteers who teach the recipients how to use their new computers.
