Computer Proficiency Creates New Opportunities

Dear Project supporters,

Thanks to your support, a new set of girls at the FAWE school excitedly started classes on 1^st October

Classes started with the introduction to computers including the following topics (definition of computer, functions of a computer, computer components, which include hardware and software, input and output devices, examples of input and output devices, the central processing unit (CPU), primary and secondary Memory, Software types, System Software, Application Software, Unit of measurement, Storage measurement and Computer Classification).

Due to the fact that this is the children’s first encounter with computers, the learning process is a bit slow. However, children are very excited about this opportunity. They are very willing and ready to learn. So far they have made excellent progress.

The girls are using new Raspberry Pi computers - replaced this summer - thanks in part to your support.

Watch a video of the girls showing us what they have learned.

We are super excited about this opportunity to help train and prepare the girls for our computer-aided society. This competency will help them as they progress through their education and future careers.

Please consider signing up for a recurring donation today. When you sign up for a recurring donation today - you will be helping to provide the needed on-going training. Your consistent support makes it possible for us to provide this training uninterrupted.

With deep appreciation
