Digital Education:
The lack of digital implements in lower-income families and institutions made it impossible for the teachers to provide quality education to the students. We were able to provide 10 tablets and obtained 2 laptops from donors. Such digital tools promoted and encouraged uninterrupted learning despite the situation of the pandemic. Classes resumed with a few hiccups on the way that our volunteers would swiftly rectify.
