Hungry to learn, willing to work, in a place where there is not much to do outside the school, with needs and expectations bigger than their own dreams, confused by what they see on television and what they get to do at the school. Technology is changing constantly and some kids don't even have the chance to have learning devices to make the process smoother, better. School for some of them is hard enough and they need to use stuff in the classroom that can make them feel they are learning something new, in a productive fun way. There is no need to say, that for some of the students here in the south, the only moment when they play a game is when they do it in the classroom because some of them right after school, have to work to bring some money home. You and I can make a difference in the life of some of this kids that don't even get some valuable time with their family.
