Bill English meets one of our Tutors

During the official opening of our REAP House in Gore Hon Bill English met one of our Computers in Homes tutors and technicians.  He was delighted to hear the programme has started well in the South and went back to Wellington with our Annual Report to read.

Kate also had the opportunity to speak with Todd Barclay MP for Clutha Southland about the Computers In Homes programme that is happening in his patch of the woods. 

Computers In Homes Graduation In Central Southland



In conjuction with the Winton and Districts Community Worker and our local schools we clustered a group of whanau together to train at Southern REAP in Winton.  Due to some of our students having preschool children we also ran a creche next door so that the Mums could train and the children could play!
Eight students graduated at the end of October and it was great to have all the whanau join us after school for this celebration. 
Congratulations to everyone who recieved a certificate and good luck with your continued learning.

Another series of Training at Takitimu Primary School

Following on from a very successful series of Computers in Homes trainings a further group of whanau have now completed their 20 hours training.  This group worked really hard with our tutor Debbie, and they were so excited to finally recieve their certificates.  One special lady who has full care of her grandchild said it has opened up a whole new world.
Congraulations to you all!
