My Project

Hi folks! Thanks for finding my previous project. My kids love the 40 headsets they received 2 years ago (and take excellent care of them) but need more as our EL population has grown from 82 students to over 160 students, meaning on any given day my students now only have access to headsets once a week. Twice a week teachers borrow our headsets for testing as well.

Here are five quick reasons why you should consider contributing to this project!

1. **Empowering Future Leaders:** By providing headsets to Latino students, you’re equipping them with the tools they need to access quality online education, fostering a new generation of leaders who can excel academically and professionally.

2. **Bridging the Digital Divide:** Many Latino students face significant barriers to technology access; your donation will bridge this gap, ensuring they can fully participate in remote learning and digital opportunities without limitations.

3. **Enhancing Learning Experience:** High-quality headsets will enhance the learning experience by improving audio clarity, which is crucial for understanding lectures, participating in discussions, and engaging in interactive learning activities.

4. **Supporting Language Development:** For bilingual or Spanish-speaking students, headsets will facilitate better comprehension and practice of both English and Spanish, supporting their language development and academic success.

5. **Promoting Equity in Education:** Your contribution will help level the playing field, providing Latino students with the same access to educational resources and opportunities as their peers, thereby promoting fairness and equal chances for success.

My students are kind, responsible, eager to learn and very respectful. One student even walked back to school the same day, just to return a pair of headphones he forget to give back to me.
