One of the fastest growing players in Botswana’s Computer Consultancy Industry- Sambiri Botswana have committed themselves to giving back to the community. With over 30% of Africa’s population still yet to see a computer and over 50% being computer illiterate, Sambiri Botswana are starting the battle against such statistics and their point of entry being the areas that need computer literacy the most.
This past weekend of the 20th of June Sambiri’s Managing Director Mr Tonderayi G Usada ran a full day course of Basic Information technology to about 10 delegates form two charity Organizations I am special education society and The Kings Foundation, here in Gaborone. The course took the delegates on journey through basic understanding of the common called desktop and all its clicks.
“When I came here I did not even know how to click and what exactly that meant”, said Fatima Ndogwedi one of the overjoyed delegates.
“Now I have a different understanding of the computer and thank you Mr Usada for really breaking everything down to our level”, she added.
“We would even want another course to learn more about Microsoft Word and Excel”, pleaded Kebaeditse Ramooki and Emily Chibale of The Kings Foundation.
I am Special Education Society is a local school in Tlokweng for children with conditions like Downs syndrome, Autism, Celebral palsy, Dyslexia, ADD and other Developmental Delays. When the staffs from such schools become aware of how to use the computers, they can take some of these skills back to even introduce computer lessons for their children.
The Kings Foundation team will definitely benefit from this course because as they gear up to impact Botswana and even surrounding countries they need a well organized administration to be complimenting their well known prowess on the sport fields.
The Kings Foundation would like to thank Mr Tonderayi Usada and his team for putting together such a valuable course for organizations that otherwise would not have managed to be trained If they were to pay for such workshops. This is a bold step by Sambiri Botswana towards building an Educated and Informed Nation by 2016. Click here to read more about Sambiri Botswana.
