Some impact numbers
Participants contacted 112 teachers, 118 parents, 117 students to asses the needs in their community. They shared 130 resources to make sure kids continue to learn, created 4 different websites (including the ones created by scholars) in their different countries to gather ressources to be share with parents, contacted more than 20 tech companies to try to find digital material for underprivileged families... And much more individual stories that we were inspirational to hear.
The participants will fill in an impact survey tomorrow which will let us know a little bit more about the impact of the program. Stay tuned!
