(LOUISVILLE) -- Erica Blevins used to spend hours at a public library in eastern Kentucky to complete school research assignments that required access to a computer.

Now she can click onto the World Wide Web from her Johnson County home.

Blevins received a donated computer as an eighth-grader earlier this year, thanks to an initiative called 'No Child Left Offline,' which is aimed at closing the technology gap for tens of thousands of Kentucky students without home computers."
