The L4L Story
La historia de L4L
En 2015, el fundador de Laptops 4 Learning, Dwayne Baker, reconoció la necesidad de que los estudiantes a los que asesoraba tuvieran acceso a la tecnologÃa para acceder a oportunidades educativas y laborales. Observó que, para muchos estudiantes, los recursos tecnológicos proporcionados por la escuela eran las únicas herramientas disponibles para mantenerse al dÃa con sus tareas. Como veterano, el Sr. Baker también querÃa ayudar a sus compañeros veteranos a buscar oportunidades educativas y laborales.
Baker fundó L4L como respuesta directa a los estudiantes que conoció y a los veteranos militares que no tenÃan los medios para obtener una computadora portátil. Esta iniciativa se ha convertido en una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a proporcionar esta herramienta tecnológica esencial a cualquier estudiante y veterano que necesite apoyo. Los estudiantes y veteranos pueden crear una cuenta en el sitio web de L4L para solicitar donaciones deducibles de impuestos de familiares, amigos y miembros de la comunidad. En cuanto el estudiante genere o autofinancie el costo total de la computadora portátil, se le entrega.
What Our Supporters Are Saying
Descubrimos que si podemos ayudar incluso a un pequeño porcentaje de niños, nos sentimos bien con nosotros mismos. Podemos mirarnos al espejo y decir que estamos haciendo lo que podemos. El programa L4L también ha crecido, ¡y eso es alentador!
