Summary of project status and achievements:
After adding an extra six-week computer course in October to meet the demand in the Kala community, the program ended on November 20th with 31 proud students receiving certificates. Although the weather had forced the Computer Centre to frequently rely on the generator for power in October, providing the KCCTC with six Tough Books from Mwange which have much longer battery life alleviated much of this issue and the generator was only needed once during November.
Both Nswima of the CDRC and library, as well as Kyapi worked in the KCCTC as voluntary assistants to help facilitate the rapid pace of the course and were much appreciated by coordinator Augustin.
The computer class held in Kawambwa for UNHCR auxiliary staff finished in mid-November and a graduation ceremony was held on Thursday, November 26th where 22 students were honored with certificates, refreshments, congratulations from the FORGE staff involved, as well as the Head of Sub-Office, who implored the students to apply for positions in UNHCR where they could utilize their new professional skills. Pictures of the event and a UNHCR report was sent to the country office to highlight FORGE's commitment to giving back to the local community.
