A Letter from Our Sponsor... MICHAEL D. CAPELLAS Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Hewlett-Packard is proud to be a national sponsor of TECH CORPS and an active participant - through grants of cash and equipment and hundreds of employee volunteers - in helping schools enhance the value of technology in educating America's children.

Throughout its history, Hewlett-Packard has contributed significant resources to help improve the quality of education in schools across the country. Our focus has been directed specifically to enhance educational opportunities for teachers and students. Our support of TECH CORPS' techs4schools program presents us with another unique opportunity to further Hewlett-Packard's commitment to that effort.

Technology alone does not enhance education. It is the application of that technology in innovative ways that creates new opportunities for students to learn and to explore their world. But many schools lack the expertise or the people resources to get the most out of their technology investments. As a technology leader, we understand the importance of providing volunteers who can offer schools the one-to-one support they need. That is why we are supporting techs4schools. Now volunteering can be taken to a new level through the Internet, making it easier for employees like ours to share their technical knowledge and expertise with schools across the country.

techs4schools is important because it will expand access to technical resources by all schools, teachers and students. We are very pleased to work with TECH CORPS toward that goal and encourage others to join us in this important step to the 21st century.
