Boryslav to get computer learning center

LEHIGHTON - The Rotary Club of Lehighton, Pa., with support from Rotary International Foundation and with cooperation from the Kobzar Society is coordinating and co-sponsoring the establishment of a computer learning center on the premises of the Special School-Internat for Disadvan-taged and Crippled Children in the town of Boryslav, Lviv oblast.

The Rotary Club Ratusha-Lviv will provide assistance locally in Boryslaw. Ten computers will be installed in one of the classrooms at the special school so that the children who live and study there will have ready and easy access to the computer technology. Additional assistance and funds will be provided to ensure successful launching of this very important facility.

It is hoped that this computer learning center will provide the disadvantaged children with strong intellects and a new hope for a better future and an opportunity for a productive life.

The Kobzar Society Ltd., a humanitarian aid corporation based in Lehighton, Pa., will supply the computers for the project. As part of a long-term ongoing program, the society is currently shipping 61 additional computers to educational institutions throughout Ukraine. Among the computers in the latest shipment there are the 10 computers that are designated for delivery to the Special School-Internat in Boryslav.

Organizations or individuals who may wish to organize, sponsor or join similar humanitarian projects for schools, hospitals, clinics, museums, libraries or other educational institutions in Ukraine should contact the Kobzar Society via phone at (610) 377-3383 or via e-mail at ojhanas@ptd.net.
