Blog up and Running

The Computers In Homes Project in the Wairarapa is well and truly up and running.

Wairarapa REAP has the responsibility to deliver to the Masterton and Pahiatua communities over the next few years.
Martha Manaena is the coordinator - (You will see her charming photo soon). Martha is being supported by Peter McNeur, Director of Wairarapa REAP (me). Martha and I will try and team tag on this blog site for a while.

We are very excited to have Computers In Homes operating in this region and see it having enormous benefits to our communities. We have undertaken to link this into other things that are happening here so that we will have multiple benefits.

Lastly, we are very grateful to the 2020 Communications Trust for this opportunity and to the wonderful Di Das for her support!

Well its that time again for 2013 so bring it on. For Term 1 we have already started our "Stepping Up" program Tuesday evenings 6 - 8.30pm and Thursday afternoon 12.30 - 2.45pm, still at Ko Te Aroha. I have got 16 registered for this program at the moment. At the end of last year I had one lady do 11 modules! We are hoping to start our normal CIH class this term. Our internet connections are working well at this moment we have connected so many people which is really good. Also this year we are visiting 3 new schools - Masterton Primary, Douglas Park and Chanel College not forgetting our existing schools.

Wendel Richardson has formally joined the team this year. As the Education Manager for Wairarapa REAP, Wendel has been involved in the background up until now, but she will replace Peter McNeur as the Project Manager from the beginning of the year. Peter will still have a background involvement as he refuses to move too far away from this wonderful work.
