Launch in Buller and Visit from the National Committee


After much preparation through December and January, we have 3 classrooms running and ready to launch. National Coordinator, Di Das and WestReap ACE Coordinator, Cheryl Jackson, came to launch the program with ICT trainer, Jeannie Bryson, from February 10-12th. Murchison courses will be run out of the local Plunket rooms, with 6 computers and space for a couple of laptops. Northern Buller courses will be running out of the brand new Community Centre in Ngakawau, with 4 computers. The third and final class room has been set up in Westport Salvation Army above the community hall, with 10 computers and space for 5 laptop users. The community has embraced the program and we are excited to get going at the end of February.
