On Saturday, representatives from Greenwin Corp.’s community outreach arm, Greenwin Cares, and the Toronto Police 31 Division Community Police Liaison Committee (TPS 31 Division CPLC) provided 45 high-quality refurbished laptops to students facing challenges with remote learning. The laptops were donated by Toronto-based property manager and developer, Greenwin Corp., as part of a new joint initiative with TPS 31 Division CPLC, the Laptops for Learning program.
Laptops for Learning was created out of the belief that no child should fall behind on their education because of a lack of resources. With a growing focus on online education due to COVID-19, the goal is to break down technological barriers that contribute to an uneven playing field.
“We are so excited to come together with the TPS 31 Division CPLC and the great people of this community to help support these students on their path to success,” said Kevin Green, President and CEO, Greenwin Corp. “Having a laptop to call their own will give these students the necessary tools they need to get the education they deserve.”
Students were referred to the Laptops for Learning program through the Black Community Consultative Committee (BCCC), a volunteer-based organization that focuses on strengthening community bonds, providing resources and support to empower the black community to overcome systemic barriers to success.
Greenwin Cares and the TPS 31 Division CPLC are committed to continuing to support students in at-risk communities by providing laptops to families facing challenges with remote learning.
