On Friday, April 11, 2025, Southwestern Classical Academy scholars received an incredible gift that will have a lasting impact on their academic journeys — 80 refurbished laptops were donated to support their computer science studies. This generous contribution was made possible through Sewa Detroit, a chapter of Sewa International, in partnership with ENDO Pharmaceuticals. The donation is part of Sewa USA’s broader commitment to uplifting underserved communities, as outlined in their Social Impact Reports, which highlight the organization’s dedication to driving positive change across educational, health, and community development sectors. The laptops were presented during a special event at Southwestern Classical Academy, with district leaders, educators, and students in attendance to celebrate this meaningful investment in student success. The devices will be used by SWCA’s computer science scholars to enhance digital literacy, complete assignments, explore coding, and engage in project-based learning. Flint Community Schools remains dedicated to building strong community relationships and creating opportunities that enrich the lives of our scholars. We extend our sincere thanks to all those involved in making this donation possible.
