Approval!

I found out recently that my grant request was approved! So what that means is that once I receive the grant funds (in late June/early July) I’ll be working with my organization to expand one of our computer learning branches and open a new one. It’s exciting news because the new location will be in a village outside of the city (about 25 minutes outside) that only has one bus route to the city each day (meaning they don’t have easy access to our center). And this will be the first public access that the village (population of about 1,200 people) has to computers and the internet, including even in the school. While we don’t have the money yet, things need to start soon. We’ll start training the new teacher at our center in the city and start recruiting students. That way, when we receive the money we’ll just need to make our purchases, set everything up, and start classes. Let the to do list begin!
