What the future holds

Government has donated 14 new computers to the library. Once these are up and running we will start a Level 2 training program. This is for students who have received their Level 1 certificate but want to take their training further.

All students will be expected to use the skills learnt at Level 1 to develop a business plan for a possible small business. Additional computer skills will also be learnt. This will be for the first 4 weeks.

These students will also learnt teaching and leadership skills so that the remaining 4 weeks can we spent tutoring Level 1 students. They will then receive their certificate.

How can you help?

- Giving your time as a tutor

- Tutors who would like to help develop the Level 2 training program focused around starting your own small business in the township

- Computer donations

- Funding of a projector to facilitate teaching

- Collaboration with companies who need a supply of computer-literate, entry-level employees
