'Brilliant Bus' shrinking digital divide
http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/04/us/cnnheroes-pyfrom-brilliant-bus/index.html?iid=article_sidebar
76 year old Estella Pyfrom from Palm Beach, Florida used her savings to buy a bus and outfitted it with computer stations and educational state mandated curricula software. She goes to underprivileged kids and teaches them computer technology and boosts what they are learning in school.
She has poured over a million dollars of her own money into the project and says she has enough money to keep the bus running for about two more years, but hopes to find financial support to help her.
Guaranteed, these kids are learning a lot more in that bus than they are sitting in a classroom. She is a truly benevolent person. I wish her lots of luck in finding the monetary support she needs. She is one who is making a difference in the world!
