Local children who attend the New Orleans Youth Education Town (YET) were all smiles as they received new computers from Lenovo(HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY), for their technology room.  In celebration of the upcoming Super Bowl XLVII, the NFL and Lenovo, the official computer sponsor of the NFL, teamed up to surprise the local YET with this technology upgrade.
   
  Lenovo’s computer donation replaced the outdated workstations in the YET center’s computer lab, and provided new machines for the staff to automate paper processes, track student activities and increase productivity.  “We couldn’t be more thrilled and appreciative to have Lenovo donate the much needed hardware upgrade for the kids of the New Orleans YET,” said Darrell Guy, Sr., New Orleans YET director.  This generous donation will help our YET team to enhance our children’s experience during their time spent here, as we continue to provide a safe place for children to learn and grow.”
   

  On their Lenovo All-In-One Desktop computers, the children who might not have PCs at home or access to the internet, will now be able to do homework, research various topics for their school projects and broaden their horizons. 
   
  “It was a privilege to see first-hand how the New Orleans YET initiative is truly making a positive impact in the community. Lenovo is delighted to provide the technology tools to help the YET program continue helping local youth and guiding them to reach
their full potential,” said David Rabin, executive director Marketing, Lenovo.
   
  In addition to the technology donation, the children of the New Orleans YET were treated to a special USA Football clinic where they learned about the fundamentals of flag football alongside NFL players.
   
  This special event included appearances from New Orleans Saints players Nich Eason, Akiem Hicks, Cameron Jordan and Michael Lewis; St. Louis Rams player Rodger Saffold; and former NFL players Tyrone Hughes and Clarence Verdin.
