At Bel Air Elementary School in Bay Point, California, many students are English learners, and most of their parents speak very little English, if any, at home. This is a low-income, diverse area, and having access to proper learning materials is essential to the success of these young students as they begin their education journey. In response to the challenges faced by young English learners, Yours Humanly donated dozens of Spanish to English bilingual books. The English learners can now read, translate, and learn in both languages, gaining confidence in their improving reading and English-speaking skills. Their parents, too, are able to read with them and help them with their studies and school work.
Additionally, Bel Air Elementary was in dire need of updating its community center, used by students and their parents. We live in an increasingly technological world of computers and online communication and commerce. If there is any hope of succeeding during the educational journey, it is imperative that students have access to computers, printers, and the Internet. To ensure that Bel Air students and their parents have access to state-of-the-art technology, Yours Humanly donated new computers and printers, fresh out of their boxes, to the school community center, benefitting hundreds of children and their parents. Both projects are a part of our Bridging Gaps initiative.
Please help us to continue providing critical computer technologies to students in need by making a donation today.
