Under the epidemic, the online education popularization agency donates laptops to grass-roots families to support the learning needs of students

Under the epidemic, the learning model of mixed physical and online classrooms has become the norm, but not all families have the ability to buy a computer for their children to take online lessons.

China Light and Power Co., Ltd. collected 100 second-hand laptop computers and donated them to grassroots families in need to support the e-learning needs of school children.

After collecting 100 second-hand laptop computers, CLP Power Hong Kong donated them to grassroots families in need through the Hong Kong Single Parent Association and the Hong Kong Computer Society.

CLP understands that not every parent knows how to use electronic products to assist their children in learning. Therefore, when sending out computers, volunteers will also provide training to parents and children in need. Classes will be held to teach introductory computer knowledge and how to make good use of online resources. Allow parents to use electronic products to assist their children in online lessons and browse online education resources.

CLP Corporate Development President Zhuang Weiyin said, "Although the school has resumed classes in full, mixed face-to-face and online learning has become the new normal. CLP has been based in Hong Kong for 120 years and has always cared for the community and closely followed the needs of the community. We are concerned about many grassroots families. Lack of e-learning equipment, I hope that sending second-hand computers will help them."

The grassroots parent Zeng Xuyun, who has benefited from the activity, said: "I am so happy that my child finally has a computer to take online lessons, no longer relying on mobile phones."
