(HEMPSTEAD, NY) – One Hundred Black Men of Long Island, Inc. recently received a donation of Hewlett Packard laptop computers from Comp4Kids, a local charitable organization that provides refurbished computers to Long Island youth.

“All children should have access to a computer, to link to the World Wide Web and discover the many opportunities online that can enrich their lives through education,” said Phil Andrews, OHBMLI President. “This gracious donation of laptops from Comp4Kids will make that possible for the many Long Island youth that we mentor.”

Andrews said the Chapter will use the laptops as part of its developing youth employment, leadership and homework assistance programs to be implemented this fall.
