I lived in Newport, Oregon [noparse][[/noparse]bought a beachside house for $6000USD] for 3 years at a time when the economy was bad [noparse][[/noparse]early 80s] and people would knock on my door everyday and ask for work. As a carpenter, I barely got by.
At the local pub, people with no place to go were drinking water because beer was too expensive and mooching rolling papers for roll your own cigarettes. Everyone was very redneck too.
In 1983, I left after making only $25USD in 3 months and living mainly on mussles from the beach and potato and onion soup. I was ready to walk to California if I had to.
It seems CLG/BT is a youth in similar straits but not free to leave. I suspect no one in the community has enough cash to spare for such things. Funny how one can access internet and a computer though, educaional grant? library?
He can download the text book 'Whats a Microcontroller' for free, but the question remaining about how to get functioning components. EBay has cheap, but not free.
I find it quite disconcerting that he has to sell his blood to buy something that might better him.· There is the NEETS-Military Electronics for free on line, http://www.zianet.com/NMAMARS/downloads/neets.htm

Try FEMA.
They GOOD at thing like this.
On the Internet, it is nearly impossible to get the kind of help that you are asking for. Real people and real communities provide face to face support.
If somebody sent you a kit for free, there would be hundreds of others trying to get the same deal. Charity is best done in small amounts and not in public. Ask teachers, friends, family, and other community leaders if your goal is worthy. If they feel it is, they are the ones that can help you raise the money or find the job that will pay for it.
Two weeks may be unrealistic, but learning to provide for one's self is far more important than learning just about anything else. Are you concerned that the summer sale will be over?

P.S.! If you want to see how the leg will move, go in Public Forums into Robotics and go to Need Help/Opinion to see the video. Any comments or opinions? Post it in Need Help/Opinions.
