Literally, Help My students STAND UP!

Help me give my students a better presentation station. A standing desk will allow them to make presentations with their technology at eye level. They will be able to present professionally without stooping.

My Students

My future leaders are energetic and are eager to be engaged with meaningful knowledge. Yes, they face challenges, but they envision success for themselves and a productive life.

Planted seeds can change family trees and your donation will empower their minds.

Our Nashville school is publicly funded and serves all students, however, we are primarily second-generation immigrants who despite the challenges that come with being that are eager to prepare themselves to learn what's needed so that they will better navigate their future paths towards personal and community greatness, and yes, I am eager to help them do it!

All of my students have promised me that one day they will do their best and that they will all try to qualify for the free college education offered in our state of Tennessee.

My Project

My school has been a leader in online education in Nashville, Tennessee due to the COVID-19 pandemic and need for e-learning. When we return, it will help my students if they have a standing desk with technology at eye level for presentations. I have priced the least expensive quality made standing desk that will allow them to operate a command center for online presenting.

Currently, their command station is spread across my desk at school, but with this standing desk they can have their own center and present without stooping.

My students are very energetic & they bring EduTainment to every online presentation. It would be better for them to have their multi-screen resources at eye level.
