WFMY News, June 2009: Guilford County Children Receive Free Computers06/06/2009 - Children at a Guilford County school have their very own computers thanks to a community group. The school serves recently arrived immigrant students who are just learning to speak English. Twenty-four students received the refurbished computers and then learned how to use them, thanks to volunteers with the HandyCapable Network. "I am so thankful that someone would give us a computer and I really want to say thank you", said Ramiss Mangal, a student at the GCS Newcomers School. The school's principal tells us students look forward to using the computers. Jake Henry says the desktops enable students to further their education and their understanding of the English language. "Many of our students have never had access to technology and they're just learning how to use computers. Their families do not have access to the Internet and have never learned, so this is an opportunity for the entire family to learn together," said Henry. This is the HandyCapable Network's fourth computer give-a-way at the GCS Newcomers school. The group is made up of adults with disabilities.
