Abstract
Dropping out from school is a major problem among underprivileged children. A computer school designed to support these children named Computers Are Free for Everyone in short CAFFE, began three years ago in the hope to provide alternate source of living. some students of CAFFE later returned to regular schools, as they found hope and began to dream of a better life. The story of inspiration, motivation and hope from technology studies is shared here.
辍学是贫困儿童的一个主要问题。三年前,一所名为“人人免费电脑”(Computers Are Free for Everyone,简称CAFFE)的计算机学校成立,旨在帮助这些孩子,希望为他们提供另一种生活来源。CAFFE的一些学生后来回到了正规学校,因为他们找到了希望,开始梦想更好的生活。在这里,我们将分享从技术学习中获得灵感、动力和希望的故事。
