A ten-year-old boy walked into a computer store in Recife, Brazil

Here is a story we need to replicate here in America.

A ten-year-old boy walked into a computer store in Recife, Brazil

A ten-year-old boy walked into a computer store in Recife, Brazil, and politely asked if he could use one of the tablets on display. The salesperson agreed and handed it to him.

Instead of playing, the boy sat down and began working seriously. Store employees noticed he had taken out a notebook and pen, carefully writing down information from the screen. Curious, they asked him what he was doing.

He explained that he had a geography assignment to complete, but his family didn’t own a computer and couldn’t afford one. The tablet was his only way to study.

The moment, captured by the store’s security camera, quickly spread across social media. When the store owner learned the boy’s story, he decided to provide him with the equipment he needed to study and access the internet.

I replicated that in Thailand, bought an iPad for the daughter of a friend. Poverty is real in most of the world, in America, you might be poor, but your government can help you.

In much of the rest of the world, you are on your own. That's why family is so important in those countries, that's all people have for support.

As it should be, private individuals (groups) assisting the less fortunate. It's not the government's job though.
