Meaningful Volunteer is about to launch it's RYE School Initiative in Uganda. Part of the program will be increasing the computer literacy of local Ugandans. Currently, we have three netbook computers (kindly donated by Bob Bozsa) but we need more computers so as to reach even more Ugandans. We will take the students through topics such as Windows, Word, Excel and so on. Even just the ability to type will open up many doors for them.
Each netbook computer costs $350.
The netbook computers are the best choice for our programs because a) they are cheap, and b) very portable, which allows us to take the computers to a secure location after the classes have finished.
