Field Update

By Jaya Canterbury-Counts - Executive Director, March 26, 2008 06:19 PM

We now have fourteen computers in the library that are being shared by 768 children. Two of the computers are connected to the net.
Our local women's groups and advocates also access these few computers. Often the net is down.
While we know this is not enough ... it is progress. Many many thanks to all of you who have so generously donated to this project. Together we are making a difference!

The beneficiaries are the students at Great Aubrey, a secondary school founded for AIDS orphans. Presently we have six computers for 590 secondary school students. We still need many more computers to make this a viable project.
