Tanusya Manimuttu, a spunky teenager from SMK Damansara Utama in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, started the “laptop for learning” initiative after noticing that some of her friends were struggling to study without the device.“I came up with this initiative with an aim to reduce digital poverty and exclusion within my capacity,” she told StarEdu.
She carried out the initiative together with three other youths – Rex Lee Hint and Jhoshvaan Sree Gopi, both aged 10, and Phaevian David, 13 – and her mother Puan Sri Thevi Marimuthu, who managed the finances and procurement. The team then flooded their social media platforms and their contacts’ inboxes with information about their drive and the response, said Tanusya, was overwhelming.
The team personally delivered the laptops after obtaining approvals from relevant parties, strictly abiding by the standard operating procedures as the activity was carried out during the movement control order period.Tanusya said running the project was tiring initially.
