at the same time.
The letter comprises
the following points:
- PCs are in London
and transportation is
not provided by the
donor
- There is no funding
for transport
- All logistics with
regards to importation
must be taken care of
ie. Import duties, customs
and excise
- Disposal at end-of-life
will be carried out
in an environmentally
friendly way
The donor requests that
you urgently respond to
the letter, incorporating
the following points:
- Proposal of what
you intend to do with
the donated PCs
- Proposal of funding
for all transportation
costs from London to
your technical service
centre
- What arrangements
for transport have been
made – how long
will it take to collect
them (must be collected
within one month)
- How importation logistics
are going to be taken
care of
- Evidence that the
Official Journal of
the European Union on
waste electrical and
electronic equipment
(WEEE) has been read
- refer to module 5
for this information
- If the relevant information
cannot be found –
explain the difficulties
you encountered
Prepare your response
to the donor’s offer
of donation. To assist
you in answering the question,
we have prepared an activity
template in Microsoft
Word that you can use
to complete your answers.
Once you have completed
this document, save it
in an appropriate location
on your computer. Then
send an email
to your group with
the activity template
attached.
You may find it useful
to refer back to this
document in later activities,
so please ensure that
you save it somewhere
that you will easily be
able to find it.
At this time, you should
start receiving the responses
of other members of the
group. When you look through
these responses, you might
like to consider the following
questions: Why do you
think other people responded
as they did? Do you agree
with their responses?
What do you think is good
about their inputs? Where
you do not agree, is this
because you think their
ideas are unsuitable in
your country or in their
own country? Your online
mentor will also ask you
further questions based
on the inputs from the
group. At any point, you
can share any of your
responses to these questions
or any other observations
with the rest of the group,
either by pressing the
Reply button on the e-mail
or by clicking on
this link (Share further
comments on activity three
with the group).
