I would like to invite you to watch an inspiring video about “Computers 4 Kids,” a program just launched by Connected Tennessee. You will hear the story of Lotez Holloway, a foster care child who has been in six homes in five years, but retains his enthusiasm and drive for educational excellence. “At school these days, basically you need a computer to get along,” Holloway says. “It’s like your pencil now.”
Through the Computers 4 Kids program, Connected Tennessee and its partners are placing 1,000 computers in the homes of underprivileged children each year for the next three years. Why are we doing this? Simple. Students need a computer at home in order to succeed at school.
