Help Mr. W.

I teach art in a inner city school where there aren't many resources to inspire my students.

My students have no access to graphic arts programs. I want to expose them to Photo Shop so they can create comic books in my classroom.

My students need a computer to work on creating comic books for my art class. I want to start working with them on creating comic books that depict their reality, what they are going through, like a journal.

You will open a door in the inner city for a kid to walk through and prosper. By funding my request you are helping students use the tools of technology that they might not have the chance to use.
