Winning Entry "The Reason" In ReBOOT/PtboCanada.com Computer Contest

Congrats to Alex Crowley, 25, who is the winner of our ReBOOT/PtboCanada computer contest for this submission:

 

The REASON

By Alex Crowley:
My mother is the reason. She taught me Right from wrong.
My mother is the reason. Early in my life she taught me our Culture.
My mother is the reason. Achieving a goal she taught me.
My mother is the reason. Study hard and you will find your dreams.
My mother is the reason. Ojibway is the language she taught me.
My mother is the reason. Networking is something I could teach my mom.

Thank you for reading the poem dedicated to my mother. I could help teach her things on the computer that she never learned as a Native child growing up.

Peterborough's Trent Valley Literacy Association

The Trent Valley Literacy Association (TVLA), which has been in Peterborough for more than 30 years, is a non-profit organization. It was formed to help adults in the Patch gain reading, writing, basic math and computer skills needed to live and work successfully in the community. The TVLA offers many programs, ranging from one-to-one to classroom learning.

TVLA held a yard sale fundraiser last weekend as they rely on donations to keep the project running. They are also always looking for volunteers who can share some time to tutor others. TVLA is located at 139 Douro Street, next to reBOOT
