Most of the nation is sheltering in place. That means school is suspended, but kids can continue to learn is by tele-schooling through apps like Zoom. Many student families cannot afford personal computers, and this is where and this is where Russell Westbrook comes in.

The NBA star is making a difference for students in Houston and Galveston, Texas by providing well needed laptops. One-in-three Houston students don’t have computer access at home, so Westbrook’s Why Not Foundation, and the Comp-U-Dopt non profit technology charity are standing behind Houston students by donating 650 laptops.

This initiative is very generous and lauded by Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, and executive director of Comp-U-Dopt in helping disadvantaged families in Texas. Take a look at a message of thanks from Mayor Turner.
