Back to Time Dollars in Community Elementary school children tutor their peers. When they accumulate 100 time dollars, they trade them in to purchase a donated IBM compatible computer.
Every computer is loaded with an office suite program.
Each child receives a new mouse, mouse pad, software manual, tee shirt and other prizes. We have placed 3,225 computers in disadvantaged households. These households might never have been able to purchase a computer. Time in a school computer lab and visits to a community center is no match to compete with other children spending 2-3 hours a night, on a computer. An official evaluation of the program shows that children who participate in the program on average advance one academic year for the year.
