A PROJECT to re-purpose and recycle digital devices operates from a warehouse in Broadford and soon a primary school in Dambana, Sri Lanka will receive a donation of 100 laptops.
The Serving Humanity and Repurposing Equipment (SHARE) Rotary Project team have also delivered running water to the school for the first time in 35 years, and modernised classrooms, improved sanitation, and introduced extracurricular activities for the indigenous community.
e-Club of Changemakers Rotarian, Peter Siebel said students are on the brink of something big.
“This is a transformational opportunity for these children,” Mr Siebel said.
“For the first time, they will be able to explore the world of digital learning, improve their English skills, and access resources that were previously out of reach.”
Albert Park Rotarian, and recipient of the Rotary Australia World Community Service Award (RAWCS) Jenny Foster thanked one of their donation partners.
“We’re incredibly grateful to St Peter’s School in Keilor East for their generosity,” she said.
“These laptops will help students develop digital literacy and create new possibilities for their futures.”
The e-Change program also promotes environmental sustainability, to learn more, visit, www.facebook.com/RotarySHAREProject.
