Diane White’s son Lennon
Prem Gyani runs a Tuk Tuk Wedding Car Experience, but with many wedding plans put on hold and his business scaled back, Prem decided to use his previous experience in IT to help.
He publicly called for donations of their unused old laptops to him so that he can upgrade them and make them available as Chromebooks for children. So far, Prem has donated over 240 laptops to those in need in the Cambridgeshire area using his tuk tuk called Tara for deliveries, but he has received over 800 requests for help.
He said, “So many families have been enabled to need one laptop or more than one laptop to study at home and work from home at the same time. Many families simply do not have access to these facilities, while others “I’m delighted that I was able to somehow help make my contribution during these difficult times, and if I can put a smile on people’s faces with my tuk-tuk deliveries, all the better.”

Joanne Diamond is a health assistant on Holly Ward at Hinchingbrooke Hospital and has four children including Theo, aged 12. She said, “I am incredibly grateful to Prem and his team for donating this laptop to me. That helped him and me a lot with his homework as he had previously struggled with a small old tray. ”
Diane White is a health assistant in the Medical Assessment Unit at Peterborough City Hospital and mother of Lennon, aged 10. She said, “I am so grateful to Prem and to those who donated for giving us one of the laptops. It made a huge difference for us to have access to everything we need so that we can keep Lennon’s training going through this difficult time. ”
