Summary: By Richard Hunt When the pandemic closed school, Jonathan Chambers encouraged students who were learning from home. He built them kid-size desks… for free! “I felt God kind of led me, you know, on the whole thing.” Inspired by God and driven by compassion, Chambers, owner of Gateway Construction & Development, wanted to “give these kids something that they can create their own space to do some learning.” He had heard of young students curling into closets and other areas to try and find a quiet and productive place to do their schoolwork. And he realized an appropriate size desk could make a big difference.
