Monthly Update - July 2018

8/1/2018

 

​This month we distributed a whopping 499 computers and laptops!!! 🖥️💻

The computers and laptops went to...

  • 15 Schools like Beecher Bay First Nations School in Sooke, Edmonds Community School in Burnaby, and Saint Patrick's Elementary in Maple Ridge.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.​
  • 37 Nonprofits! This includes nonprofits like ISS of BC & Mosaic BC who help immigrants and refugees settle in to Canada and provide them with computers and computer training; Mount Pleasant Neighborhood House who redistribute computers to people who could not otherwise afford them; and BC Emergency Medicine Network who use the computers as a public access point for patients with disabilities. We are extremely happy to have gotten so many order requests from Nonprofits this month. 

​Thank you donors! ​💗

We couldn't run the Computers for Schools program without your continued support.​​ 
​Below are donors who supported us this month.
