West Lothian, Scotland, 2020 – We received a message from a parent during the Covid lockdown, describing the “nightmare” of attempting to homeschool her three sons with no computer and just a single mobile phone between them.
Reusing IT were delighted to be able to supply the family with a laptop.
“We were just starting to realise, due to the volume of requests coming in since the beginning of lockdown, that every child needs their own laptop,” says Ross Cockburn.
“So in an ideal world we would have given the family three devices.” However, the laptop made it possible for the boys to have a chance at keeping up with their peers with school work during lockdown. The parent said, “We have a chance, now we have this laptop.”
