BURNABY, British Columbia, Jan. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The necessity of owning a home computer has not been so acutely felt since the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we need to work, learn, and communicate. Sadly, many households in BC still do not have access to a computer.<\/p>\n

Burnaby NOW Reporter Cornelia Naylor recently wrote an article<\/a> detailing a \u201chappy ending\u201d story. Computers equipment donated by the City of Burnaby was refurbished at BC Tech and provided to the Burnaby School District\u2019s \u201cSocial Workers in Schools\u201d program, who in turn provided equipment to local families, including Raghda Mallok. We are thrilled to learn how this computer helped the family and is making an impact in their new life.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Naylor\u2019s article exemplifies the work we accomplish at BC Tech for Learning Society with this one story demonstrating the impact felt by one family. Every month we distribute hundreds of computers to organizations or direct to families, so we know this story is being felt across hundreds of other homes in BC,\u201d says Mary-Em Waddington, executive director.<\/p>\n

The Mallok family represents just one request for a computer or laptop out of hundreds received monthly by BC Technology for Learning, who recently celebrated the distribution of their 180,000th<\/sup> computer. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for computers as many people need to work from home or attend school online. Our ability to continue to provide computers and laptops for those who need them is dependent on donations from businesses, local government, and individuals.<\/p>\n

If you have used technology that you no longer need please visit our website<\/a> to learn how to donate today. Laptops, monitors, and tablets are currently most in demand.<\/p>\n
