== Intro ==

Bridge of Hope currently serves 180 children of [[Ijevan]] and surrounding villages, of
which about 85 are disabled, most of which are from disadvantaged and at risk
families. The primary goal of the organization is the equal education of all and has
been an advocate of inclusive education. The organization currently partners with
local schools and other organizations, including the local and regional governments to
identify and provide support to these children
Currently available are 5 computers that are being used full time in classes and
camps. 5 additional computers that have been on loan are now being returned to their
organizations as they are needed there. Currently there is a computer ratio in classes
and activities of 2-3 children per computer which not only affects the quality of the
program but also limits the number of children that can engage in the program.
The organization wants to engage the children in real world application of the skills
receive which will help increase the use and retention of these skills. As a result it is
the wish to have as part of the classroom activities, the creation of a student run
newsletter highlighting the activities of the organization to the community future
activities, student accomplishments and general organizational information.
Due to lack of adequate surge protection to protect the equipment from power surges
in the local power grid, they have had the failure of 4 computers, 1 irreparably in the
last 6 months, further depleting the resources available to the children. Also in use is
aged, low capacity printing equipment and is need of a higher capacity copier/printer
that can facilitate the economical printing and coping of organizational materials and
newsletters.
