Bangladesh e-learning devices for children

I'm celebrating my 50th birthday with a bunch of people by making a fund-raising ride from Auckland to Invercargill on 50cc scooters.

Having volunteered in Bangladesh for a year setting up an e-Learning platform and helping out with book keeping, our family has returned to NZ and still wants to help out the schools we've been working with in Chandpur and Dhaka.

Schooling in Bangladesh is typically rote learning, memorisation and working from text books. The leaders of these schools want to see their students better prepared to navigate the complexities of the modern world. The big picture is to teach these children how to learn and think critically and to have high quality educational resources made freely available to children regardless of where they live.

The students need devices to access these resources and we're raising funds to provide students with Chromebooks. The average price of the chromebook we are looking at will be around $500NZD. Anything given via this page will go directly towards getting more devices into the hands of students. Any amount given towards this would be greatly appreciated!
