“I can’t say enough about how much it meant—not only to the staff of the HandyCapable Network who were busy getting the computers ready—but to the children who would not have received a computer if not for Anna’s diligence.

“Anna’s desire to see that every deserving child got a computer had her making trips to the school to fi nd the children who had no phone, making deliveries to the homes of those without transportation, and finding interpreters to communicate with the families of the children who spoke minimal English. She also coordinated all of the transportation and logistics. She was amazing.

“Sarah was instrumental in expanding our outreach and services to a more diverse community. She really cared about our mission and allowed us to build up relationships in the community. It’s really rewarding to see the new people we’ve been able to reach and the effect our programs are now having on their lives.

“By concentrating on curriculum and training, Gariet made sure that the website would stay useful to the OLLIE Youth Media program beyond just his year with us.

“Moving Images proved to be a great success for the OLLIE Youth Media program. The students produced excellent work that showcased their talents and refl ected the positive experiences they had while participating in the program. Gariet was key to that success.”
