We greatly appreciate your ongoing educational support for students in Sierra Leone. The hardware & networking students recently had a practical. Prior to the practical, they had been practicing how to install an operating system on a virtual machine. For the practical, the students were set up in teams and had to open the system units and remove the faulty hard drive and the old CMOS battery and then replace both with newer units that were purchased thanks in part to generous donors like you. They also did a RAM upgrade and successfully installed a Windows 7 operating system, Microsoft Office, Chrome, Media player, etc.

The teams all successfully accomplished the practical and they can now set up a desktop computer, troubleshoot basic hardware problems, identify various hardware parts, major software, and its functions, and connect the right cables to the different components.
Your support is equipping students in Sierra Leone through education and skills training to be future leaders. Our recurring donors are making a continuous impact and we are truly grateful for the ongoing support. If you are not yet a recurring donor, we warmly invite you to consider setting up a recurring donation.
Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.
With great appreciation,
Amy and the Develop Africa team
