Hi Dmitri, organizations more often take delivery all at once to<br>
conserve shipping, but some have taken delivery over time.<br>
<br>
Note: We've had a change the world program that is closing down, so<br>
that particular program won't be open for long, but you can always<br>
send requests to <a href="mailto:givemany@laptop.org">givemany@laptop.org</a> to find out what is possible.<br>
