Giving away computers!

BajaBlanca - 7-7-2016 at 09:19 PM

So, as you all probably remember, TMW donated 2 computer laptops recently.....so absolutely needed and so wonderful.

Here are those two beautiful laptops being handed out:


Alfonso, a junior, got the first one, he studies International Business in La Paz and desperately needed a good computer to do research and even test taking:








The second one went to Martha, she will be studying Engineering in Santa Rosalia this August- within an hour of telling her that I had one for her, she and her mom and dad were in my livingroom with huge smiles!








Thanks Tom - thank a million!

and I have a small Dell which belongs to Cristina, who will be starting college August 2017, It only needs a charger, if anyone wants to sponsor one? I have no idea of the cost....














and this is Cristina:









I gave her 8 notebooks and a 3 ring binder with loose leaf paper and pens, pencils, and a highlighter. Her family has decided to move to Ensenada for her senior year. She hopes to move to La Paz for college. We will keep in touch since she is a straight A student, won an award this past year for such a high GPA. As long as she keeps getting those A's.....she will be a part of next year's group of sponsored estudiantes!

You're welcome Blanca and thank you for what you do for these young men and women. As I've said before they are the future and a good education opens up the world to them.
