New Laptops Empower Students in Guatemala

LCR was able to obtain 15 new laptops at nominal cost for donation to the Milagro school in Guatemala. It was our desire to be able to provide each girl with their own computer so they wouldn’t need to share and take turns. Additionally, we wanted them to be able to take the computer back home when they completed their studies.

The Guatemala support team approved the purchase, and Charles Demosthenes worked with Micro Center who allowed us to buy more than the 1 per customer limit. John Mellott carried them down when he made a trip there this spring, and after Pastor Karen established some rules on how and when the computers should and should not be used, they were presented to each girl. Much of their schooling is now computer based, so this has greatly increased their ability to learn.
