We have just completed arrangements for the Whanganui Awa School, Ranana to become a partner school and they will be starting their first class before the end of March. It is great to be able to take CIH to this small ‘isolated ‘community. Ranana is around 50KM up the Whanganui River, so having computers at home and internet connections will make a huge difference for these people.
New classes are planned to start soon at Wanganui East, Castlecliff & Tawhero Schools plus we are finalising arrangements to make two new Community Technology Centre partnerships who will run classes.
We have uploaded a video to You Tube about Wanganui Computers in Homes. Click here to view We had this made for our entry in the Wanganui Chamber of Commerce Business Awards by Graeme Tidswell, TSH Audio Video, Taranaki. We are very grateful to Graeme for making it available for us to use to publicise CIH. The video features our Tutor/Technician Ian Jamieson and the Critanovich family telling how CIH made a positive difference for them. We plan to spend a lot of time telling our families stories this year as it is so important to share these experiences and show them to families who aren’t connected digitally at home yet.
