In this interview you will find out about Digital Angels, the charitable organisation Eric helped set up in June 2015. In just six months Digital Angels have changed the lives of many children in East Slovakia. Digital Angels get computers donated to them from companies who would otherwise scrap them (which would cost them money!). The team of Digital Angels volunteers then refurbish the computers and give them to disenfranchised children and people who are in real need in East Slovakia.

- How many computer systems Digital Angels have given out in just over six months
- How – together with the local Mayor – Digital Angels helped a 70 year old woman *meet* her grandchildren for the first time
