These computers & laptops went to...​

  • 24 schools​ like Alpha Secondary in Burnaby, Yorkson Creek Middle School in Langley, and Maria Montessori Academy in Victoria. These schools use computers and laptops for various things ranging from simply increasing their computer-to-student ratios so that every student has access to a computer during class to effectively learn, upgrading their current computers to keep up with the growing advances in computing, or even helping specific students.​ 
  • 29 nonprofit organizations like DiverseCity who offers settlement and community programs, language training and literacy programs, employment services and skills training services, counselling services, programs for children and youth, interpretation and translation services; Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood House whose mandate is to  is to provide programming, and educational, leadership, social and recreational opportunities to residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside; PALS Autism School Society who offers a school program for people with autism of all ages; and Stanley Park Ecology Society who educates about nature through school programs, engage in habitat restoration and wildlife monitoring, and advises the park board.
  • 15 students ​(much higher than our monthly average!) who now have access to a desktop computers in their homes and that will allow them to do their homework (and procrastinate 😉), communicate with friends and family, look for jobs, learn new skills, etc. ​​If you are a student or know of one who needs a new desktop computer, please check out our Computers for Students program! We expect the Connecting Families program to be up and running in the coming months.
