Diya is an organization on campus, working in conjunction with
Eliot-Hine Public Middle School in D.C., whose mission is to
collect computers that are no longer being used and donate them to
children in need. We hope that these computers will help to further
the academic progress of those children who receive them by
allowing them to further develop their technological skills, learn
from the educational software that will be provided and by
establishing a "Big Brothers, Big Sisters" like program in which
the child develops a relationship with a student from UMCP.
We really need computers and educational software (math, science,
typing games etc for middle-school kids) to donate to these
children! So please look around for any old computers or
educational software that you are not using anymore and would be
kind enough to donate. Please email [log in to unmask] if you are able
to donate a computer, want to be otherwise involved in the club or
with any questions that you may have.
Thank you!
