Some parents and I donated projectors in a small private school here in Alabama where my son is teaching and my youngest daughter is enrolled. I found out the school needed a projector. I’ve decided to give one also once I heard that.

My son is a fourth grade teacher. Every time he teaches he is always using power points. There is only one projector in their school and when the other teachers are using it he cannot teach very well without a projector.

In case a teacher is absent, my son would act as a substitute teacher for other grade levels. He needs to use a projector to show picture of various subject matters to his students especially when he teaches science. Pupils are more attentive and can understand well a particular topic if there’s a visual aid presented. This way, his students can understand their subjects very well.

There was no fund available for other things needed in school because the school was constructing two new additional buildings. My son asked the director of the school about a way of getting another projector for the school. According to the director, the best remedy is to ask the parents of the students to consider this mini projector as one of their projects.

During their Parents Teachers Association meeting, they discussed about it and the President informed the parents about the need of the school for a projector. The Parents willingly approved that they will consider buying a new projector for the school. I was there too since I have a daughter studying there.  Because I knew that the school needs more than 1 projector as my son have told me, I volunteered to give one additional projector.

As promised, I gave the Optima EP-PK -101 PICO Pocket projector which is only 4 ounces in weight. This projector can be connected to camcorders, DVD players and digital camera. This device can project images up to 60 inches in size. It includes LED light source which runs over 20,000 hours and also utilizes DLP PICO technology. This mini projector has great amazing features so I was convinced to get one.

The parents are actually very supportive to the school. If the school has a project they are willing to extend help because they know that their children will benefit out of this project.  This has been like a traditional to every parent that’s why I was also encouraged to give a hand by myself.
I was certain that 2 projectors will be very needful to the students and are very beneficial to them as well. The parents have many projects for the school for the benefits of the students as well as the teachers.

After a week, all the teachers and parents gathered together to discuss about the new project of the school. The officers of the PTA gave the projector to the school. My son was so happy that the need of a projector for their school was made possible through the help of the parents. The students were happy, too. We’ve all assumed that classes become a lot more fun.
