Two of us are in college. We dont have laptops so we have to do all of our papers around the campus library schedule. We dont even have a printer so we also have to pay to get these assignments printed. Our younger sister is a senior in high school and would make great use of the netbook. Mostly, though we would love to give the Touchsmart PC to my Mom. She not only needs, but deserves a new computer, you see she works 2 full time jobs to care for us and used the web as a way to escape and relax and unwind.

I instantly envisioned the HP Magic Giveaway as a way to launch three projects as I transition into another stage of my life. Some of these gifts will be given to support long term activities. Some donated for fund raisers and some kept for personal use as I retool.

In the 1970’s the “60 Minutes” television show once described this stretch of inner-city Projects as “the most dangerous mile in America”. Today, much has changed and, as they say - much remains the same. At this intersection sits a high minority-populated, economically challenged Senior Adult community center. This is where I will house my HP Magic project. Many of the Seniors have family/grandchildren living a distance away. With the HP Magic gift I will plan and establish a regular on-site schedule where Seniors can call home using internet webcam and VoIP/Skype technology. With the permission of family members grandparents can virtually visit with their children, connecting with grandchildren classrooms as school projects and, once comfortable with the concept, even visit online with other Seniors who are tech savvy.

W.R. Sullivan is a Pre-K through 8th grade school located in the heart of Arizona's desert and the “shadow” of the Arizona Capitol. This area is high in crime and unemployment and lacks expected amenities; there are no libraries, parks, and shopping centers. The school is part of the Murphy Elementary School District, which ranks third highest in at-risk students of the 20 districts comprising the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Nearly 96% of the students qualify for free meals. The school’s tax base consists of few homeowners and almost no business or industry sector.
