AmVets Post 9-1-1is giving away 40 refurbished computers to underprivileged students in Atlanta to help students with their schoolwork during these tumultuous times. The giveaway, orchestrated by AmVets 9-1-1 Commander Ronnie Ogletree, is apropos for these precarious times due to the global pandemic born from the novel coronavirus. Most schools are facilitating virtual learning classes which makes the acquisition of viable laptop computers paramount to keep up with their peers.
“Normally what we do is we do a back-to-school drive,” Commander Ogletree said, which the post has done for nearly 30 years. “But with COVID-19 this year, we decided it will put laptops in the hands of kids that needed because there was a shortage of laptops.”
Commander Ogletree and AmVets are partnering with Montez Collins, a technology instructor at Southside High School in the Atlanta Public School System, to provide free and refurbished or reconditioned laptops and present them to the schools for the next several weeks.
