Make It – Take It

In November Mrs. Maggs and Mrs. Jose Garcia traveled to the United Nations in New York to attend a conference on eradicating world poverty. It was part of their on-going effort to bridge the digital divide in the Philippines through the Joy & Care Giving Foundation.
Mrs. Maggs spoke about the Make It – Take It Program in Flagler County and met with Mr. Nick Negropnte who is heading an effort to provide technology to third world countries by providing $100 laptops to them.
In December, the Make It – Take It Program hosted a Christmas Party for some FPCHS students who are participating in the MITI program. (See photo above) Mrs.Odum and Mr.Djordievski’s ESE students will attend MITI classes at Matanzas High School and graduate in April. As they enjoyed the pizza party, each student also received a helium balloon donated by Palm Coast’s Dollar Country.
If you would like to help the program by donating a computer or would like further information, please contact Veronica Maggs, (386) 931-3995 or email:

Make It- Take It is also looking for adult volunteers to help with the refurbishing of their computers. If you are interested in helping please contact Mrs. Maggs.
