70 Jerusalem children received a free computer this week as part of the “A Computer for Every Child” project. The children, in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, first finished a 60-hour introductory course on computer use.
The “A Computer for Every Child” project gives computers, basic computer training, and Internet connection to children whose families cannot afford to buy the technology for them. Project staff say their goal is to promote educational equality. 400 families have received free computers so far, with help from the Edmund Safra fund.
