Here at You Me We "Connectedness" is one of our core pillars. To prove it, we have distributed over 70 computers, and we have expanded to more homes.
At this point we have distributed 450 computers to over 10 homes. It is not simply a physical donation, but it is also our volunteers and staff continuously visiting the homes to teach digital, and language skills. We know that this continuous support is so important for the kids.
These gifts of technology has allowed us to combine the NightZooKeeper curriculum with the Digital Citizenship curriculum in order to make the program more dynamic and impactful.
We are also providing NZK Missions. (An easier version of the English teaching tool that has many games.) Which has helped us to engage more young students, in order to grow their English abilities.
And through these digital resource our students are able to connect with other children all over the world.
Moving forward:
We will continue to create digital classrooms here in Japan, and we are planning to connect the kids with children in even more countries. (Like: Indonesia, India, etc)
