Jeremy Sharpe and Adam Stephens are on a mission to bridge the digital divide.

Adam Stephens and Jeremy Sharpe, both 17, did not expect this simple question to lead them on the path to an ambitious cause, one that should be an inspiration to others.

Sharpe added: “We decided that we were going to take the old laptops and redistribute them to people who could use them.” Initially, their attention was on Iskul. They learned from an Iskul volunteer that there was only one laptop for nearly 30 students. To make matters worse, there was no electricity and internet for days if it stormed, disrupting classes for teachers who relied on Zoom or Google Meet.

Stevens and Sharpe then decided to assist students closer to home. They had already volunteered at the Zomi Learning Centre in Kampung Attap and the Chin Refugee Centre in Cheras.
