CHARITY
Children at Red Boots are regularly in
competition of using the iPad during their
“free play” sessions where the children are
allowed to have some free time where they
use fun and educational games. This also
helps children with emotional aspects of their
development such as confidence, self-esteem
and motivation.
In conclusion, the iPad has been a great tool
