Without Alistair Fraser there would not be the Computers in
Homes Project in Wanganui. Alistair
bought the idea of CIH to the District Council in Wanganui 7 years ago. It has been running here for the last 6
years. In that time over 600 Wanganui
families have benefited through training on how to use a computer and now have
computers in their homes, plus over 1,000 learners have participated in the
Stepping UP, digital literacy programme since 2009. Alistair has also contributed to many major
initiatives in Wanganui including the digital strategy for Wanganui, putting
computers into the Eugene Crotty flats, Whanganui Womens Refuge and many other
community facilities, and coordinating Wanganui’s eDay from 2007 to 2010. Alistair was also a key driver of the initial CTC concept which resulted in the Ake Ake Centre CTC and the chromebooks in classrooms and for community access at Tawhero School.
Thank you Alistair for your energy, your passion for the
work, and your commitment to the work of Computers in Homes. We wish you well on your new adventures!
