Connecting Beyond Project

Social isolation is a tough but necessary strategy if we are going to stop the exponential spread of COVID-19. While many of us are complaining about being bored at home, more vulnerable members of our community are trapped in the same situation without access to a computer. Without basic equipment our students cannot access their lessons, our seniors cannot see their families, and our underprivileged cannot access the resources they need to care for their families. Their isolation is almost absolute.

Silent River Kung Fu’s Connecting Beyond Project is about helping everyone stay engaged during these times of forced isolation by providing the resources necessary to stay connected while maintaining social isolation. If you have a spare working computer, iPad, or other device that you are able to donate to help bring some of our more vulnerable closer to their families, their school, and the support they need, please contact Silent River Kung Fu to arrange the pickup and disinfection of your device. We are coordinating with other resources and organizations in Stony Plain to ensure they will get to the people who need them the most.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” - Dr. Seuss (1904 - 1991)
