International Chromebook Distribution-2023-Present

Sonya is collaborating with a nonprofit organization to gather donations of new Chromebooks, which will be distributed to students in rural schools in Guyana, SA. Partnering with Greenlight Guyana, she is dedicated to this initiative due to her passion for technology and her belief that providing access to students will help bridge the digital divide and foster growth and personal success. She launched this project in 2023, with a goal of collecting and donating 350 Chromebooks.
