Expanding Online Classes Children's Institution "Not enough PCs" April 28, 21:46
While the school is closed, online classes using the Internet are spreading. However, because there is a risk of not being able to take classes because there are not enough PCs at the orphanage, NPO corporations are soliciting donations to donate PCs.
By the 24th of this month, "Lights on Children," an NPO that supports orphanages, conducted a questionnaire survey of orphanages in Tokyo and received responses from 38 institutions.
As a result, when asked what they were worried about due to school closures or changes in social conditions, nearly half of the 17 facilities cited "delayed learning and online learning".
According to Wrightko Children's President Yumiko Tachigami, there are many computers in groups of several people in an orphanage, and it may not be possible to support online classes.
For this reason, we have decided to collect donations with the goal of donating more than 200 PCs according to the facilities in Tokyo, and we are calling on individuals and companies.
Chairman Tachijin wants to call for donations widely so that he can donate to facilities other than Tokyo, saying, "Because there is no environment, I feel discouraged to do my best. Don't make a difference by not being able to attend online classes." about it.
Some facilities donated computers
At some facilities, computers have already been donated based on donations.
It is said that a child who attends a high school, whose online classes will start in early May, looked at the computer that arrived and said, "I'm glad. I'm really going to study hard!"
The boy in the 6th grade, who started the computer immediately, said he was pleased, "I will practice typing first. Thank you for your computer."
