May 2018 - Monthly Update

6/1/2018

 

This month we distributed 529 computers and laptops! 🖥️💻

The computers and laptops went to...

  • ​21 Schools like False Creek Elementary in Vancouver, James Kennedy Elementary in Langley, and Ucluelet Secondary, as well as school districts such as Vancouver Island North No. 85. 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.​
​​
  • 14 Nonprofits such as Worklink Employment Society which provides free individualized services and comprehensive supports to eligible job seekers in the Westshore and Sooke region. They redistribute our refurbished computers to First Nations people through their outreach program. Another nonprofit we supported this month is the Immigrant Services Society of BC (ISSofBC). They redistribute computers to new immigrants and refugees. 

  • 5 Students 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. ​​

We attended the Burnaby Board of Trade's Business Showcase & Recycling Council of BC's Zero Waste Conference 

These were great events for us to talk about our mission and to get people to stop disposing or recycling their computers and laptops!

Big thank you to this month's donors! 💗

We wouldn't be able to run the Computers for Schools program and hit this new milestone without your continued support.​​
