“This coming week will mark one year since the U.S. pulled forces out of Afghanistan. Due to the Taliban taking over, there are now many Afghan refugees living right here in Central Texas, and it hasn’t been easy for them.
“That’s why Global Impact Initiative and Combined Arms came together to give laptops to 40 Afghan refugee families. This is the fourth laptop giveaway they have hosted. All of the laptops were donated by Dell Technologies.
“After they received the laptop, they received help setting it up and learning how to use it.
“One refugee, who came to Austin after fleeing Afghanistan almost exactly one year, ago said this act of kindness means a lot.”
