Students get free computers, Internet service

The Latin American Association and Comcast Corp. gave netbook computers to 44 students at DeKalb County’s Sequoyah Middle School last week.

The students at the Doraville school attend an after-school program offered by the association, and will also get a year of free Internet access through the partnership between the association and Comcast.

The association provides tutoring, academic skills development and college and career preparation.
