Growing up with two brothers, eighth-grader Seph Marshall has often had a hard time getting on the computer to do school work.

That changed when he was selected as the winner of a new computer through the downtown Toronto-based Merry Go Round Children’s Foundation.

Merry Go Round’s Kids, Cops and Computers program pairs financially disadvantaged students up with volunteers from the Toronto Police Service, who teach them the ins and outs of Internet use, web safety and other skills.

Seph was one of several children at Holy Family Catholic School to apply to the program and did not expect to be named one of the winners.
