"The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of
things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant
hill for the caged bird sings of freedom." --Maya Angelou "And then You are
like this: A small bird decorated With orange patches."
CHIPS is a non-profit project aimed at reducing the social
isolation of persons who are homebound, by providing a computer and free
Internet access through
KORRnet, who manages the project. The primary participants in
this project are persons who are elderly, or caregivers, although some
recipients are also disabled and homebound. Volunteer Mentors visit the
CHIPS Participants once per week to provide basic instruction on how to use
email and the Internet. This instruction results in the participant's
ability to use email to contact families and friends, meet other homebound
and isolated persons through the CHIPS Listserve, and use the internet for
purposes such as research on medications or health concerns. The improved
communication and access to information resulting in a greater sense of
connection with the community, is a healing experience for the Participant,
and extremely rewarding for the Mentor. CHIPS also offers free computer and
internet access at the KORRnet Community Access Lab. The success of the
CHIPS program is largely dependent upon volunteer Mentors and Technicians,
as well as donated computers.
This program is currently limited to the 16-county region surrounding
Knoxville, Tennessee.
