In gratitude...

I am excited to write that we received our first technology donation, a computer, by the Mainland Regional High School Computer Club, in Linwood, NJ. The Computer Club refurbishes computers and finds organizations to donate them to. The Porteno School received a generous donation of nine computers about two months ago. The computer are set up on desks that have chairs still wrapped in plastic, because the teachers aren't sure how to use them just yet. We are planning a technology training workshop for the teachers on basic computer use and computer use in the classroom. With over 30 children in their classes, and only nine computers, we have been hoping to receive donations of at least 6 more computers so the students could sit 2 per computer to work. Mainland's Computer Club is the first to help us work towards this goal. We are very grateful for this.
