Laptops Needed

Last week we had many friends at the Center. Each arrived with their own cameras to capture their experience as a volunteer. We couldn't help but notice the immediate infatuation the older boys had with these cameras. They were allowed to borrow the cameras and our volunteers asked them to take photos of their fellow Dove members, like this picture of Camili. The older boys and girls are natural photographers, and it made us think about pushing up the date of our photography class to the beginning of the new year. We have sufficient donated cameras but the only thing holding us back now are computers. We don't have any that would allow the children to edit, and enjoy the photos they will take in the class. We are asking anyone who may have friends with old laptops to think about donating them to Dove.
