Goals
- Break the cycle of poverty by creating a Community Computer Club.
- Increase job opportunities for parents and success for children.
- Make available computers and sofware at Cannon Elementary School.
- Provide volunteer help to work with parents and children on computers.
Overview
The number of disadvantaged and limited English speaking children in this neighborhood has almost doubled in the last 6 years. A computer lab will be set up with computers and educational software in space made available by Cannon Elementary School in Grapevine, TX. The Computer Club will be formed from parents and children currently asking for support, and will grow from there. The Club will use individualized programs to regularly measure progress. Volunteers from the church and school will manage the classes in order to assist those using the computers.
