Congo Brazzaville

Here is a testimony by one of the trainers about the first DU sessions in Makoua:

The training has indeed begun and (…) we are almost overwhelmed with requests for registration for the second session. We are completing the program and we are already preparing the delivery of completion certificates. All students do not approach the PC in the same way, (…) the youngest adapt very quickly and are happy to learn. Even the elderly are on enlisted tough, and follow the course, they are they are even more committed. (…) The community in Makoua believe it (i.e. the DU program) is as a gift from heaven and constantly thank the Foundation. I find it hard to let them out of the room after the course, I have to ask them to leave, but all this work is exciting. Young children, who had never seen a computer before, tremble at the touch of the mouse during class...

Over 1700 trainees benefitted from free computer courses in Congo Brazzaville as of Q1 2013.
