So sorry to hear about this. <br>
<br>
If people decide to make a donation, please send MONEY.<br>
<br>
Do not send your old laptop, desktop, or even box of crayons.<br>
<br>
Technology moves along very fast and it is hard, especially for those of us out in the sticks to get old technology to work with new technology.<br>
<br>
Once, we actually got a donation of "computers" -- the very nice church group told us, "once you get some hard drives for those, they work really good." Our school turned into someone's trash dump.<br>
<br>
In these types of situations it is best to start NEW. Give money.<br>

Tammy, I am so sorry to hear that as well!<br>
<br>
Phil, those are great sites, and there is another popular crowd-sourcing site called Indiegogo that might work as well:<br>
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.indiegogo.com/">http://www.indiegogo.com/</a><br>
<br>
Tammy, if you set up an online fundraising campaign, I would certainly post the link on the Living Tongues Facebook page so that people can see it and donate through there.<br>
<br>
best wishes,<br>

Dakota Wicohan was robbed! The program is based out of Morton, Minnesota, home of the Lower Sioux Indian Tribe. According to one of their board members, it is:<br>
<br>
This is our non-profit community development organization. We develop language curriculum, master-apprentice learning initiatives, and do youth leadership development.<br>
<br>
Stolen from the offices were:<br>
<br>
4 Laptops (3 Dell and 1 Sony), overhead projector and speakers.<br>
<br>
If anyone can help this non-profit, I am sure it would be appreciated. Donations are always accepted, but are needed now more than ever. Let us band together and help them to not only replace the things they lost, but know that others care about them and acknowledge their work on one of our endangered native languages.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
