Having started the program with only one CYDD branch, 9 laptop computers and 18 children in two classes in spring 2016, we are now proud to report that 444 children have already completed Level 1 courses and 102 of these children also finished Level 2.
So far 23 CYDD branches have implemented the project and we are in possession of 89 laptops and 20 tablets, however one third of them are second hand and will need to be replaced soon. In the course of these 18 months we also held 15 training sessions and have trained some 106 brilliant volunteer instructors who are CYDD scholarship university students studying in computer sciences.
The new CYDD branches in smaller towns wanting to join the project find their own volunteer instructor candidates who will then be trained by the training team. However most of these branches cannot raise enough funds to purchase new computers and rely on us. Maltepe, Bayrakl, Güzelbahçe, Degirmendere, Altnova and Trabzon branches need computers to start the project and some others need to change their broken used ones.
We do need your support to buy more computers and to reach more children in disadvantaged communities of smaller towns. We hope to reach at least another 500 children in 2018 with your donations..
Thank you..
