This honorable type of endeavor demonstrates extreme dedication to cooperating with the local Manhattan school district to assist with funding their Computer School (PS 87) and Anderson Program (PS 334). In  relation, computers are a part of the future. Popularly known by many, the GreenFlea venture has accumulated over $7,000,000 for the local public school project (i.e., Parents Association).
