VIDEO PROFESSOR AND THE WOUNDED WARRIORS PROJECT

Video Professor recently announced that in conjunction with the Wounded Warriors Project they will be providing complimentary distance learning products to help wounded veterans return home and rejoin the work force as quickly as possible. Video Professor declared a number of initiatives and they are as follows as reported on PRNewsWire:

“1. Video Professor Professor will establish a new computer lab at Walter Reed Hospital. The lab will feature six laptop computers with unlimited access to Video Professor's popular VP Online Learning service offering over 36 different learning titles. For Wounded Warriors needing to do their learning in their hospital room, they'll be able to check out a laptop and use Video Professor CD-ROM based learning lessons. The computer lab will be open to all patients at Walter Reed Hospital.

2. All vets receiving services from the Wounded Warrior Project will also receive 6 months free VP Online Service, or a CD-Based Library free of charge.

3. People making individual donations of 50 dollars to The Wounded Warrior Project will receive a Free Video Professor CD-ROM Tutorial Lesson of their choice. This includes all titles currently available in the Video Professor Learning Library.

4. Video Professor has established a special check-off box at their website for on-line purchasers to donate a dollar to the Wounded Warrior Project. All proceeds from the check-off box will go to The Wounded Warrior Project. Video Professor has also established links to The Wounded Warrior Website from the Video Professor Website.

5. Video Professor has also established a special 800 number for corporations interested in providing financial or in-kind support to The Wounded Warrior Project. The number is 1-800-630-6201.”

These initiates will provide much needed services to those who risk their lives to defend the United States. Access to the lessons may prove to be invaluable for returning soldiers who will now be able to train for employment while recovering. Additionally, the monetary donation and 1-800 phone line will supply cash to programs and departments that are in dire needs of capital.

This model of giving is typical of Video Professor, as the organization often supports causes that they deem worthy. As a young man, John W. Scherer, founder of Video Professor, served in the Army Reserves and remains very patriotic. Mr. Scherer and the Video Professor employees support numerous organizations that show appreciation to our government and to the troops who serve oversees. Some examples of these are Internet Café, Iraq, Walter Reed Hospital, and the United States Peace Corps. As an active member of the community, John W. Scherer and Video Professor proudly support local and national charitable institutions.
