Internet Cafe and Computer Training Up in Padibe!

Internet access and computer training encounters

It has been really wonderful with the people having acces to the internet at their disposal, something many people were not believing, and perhaps having a wireless connection. However it seem to be new things to many people, and if they see people using it they think, its only something for the highly educated fellows, but they are beginning to realise that they (the less educated) can even access the internet at any interval in any given moment.

I got very much amused by a client, who on seeing a fellow googling the histroy of Padibe over the internet, decided and requested me to teach him some thing on internet only (by the way he was serious), not other basics of the computer, yet he has never sat on a computer to use it. I was imagining where to begin from, later on I talked to him and he was able to realise its necessary to begin introduction to computer. This is so far raising people’s interest in getting to know computer, which is why we have been able to recruit 9 students for computer lession in the first round. Now we having many getting interested in computer lesson but of course we can’t register more than the number of the computer that we have functioning (6). These are some few of our client’s busy and enjoying access to the internet and enjoying computer training. What amazed my students during computer training was that they thought that most of publications in books were not done through what they have learnt so far. It has always been nice moment during the lesson you get amuse every time and my student have always been honest, if they don’t know,  they will tell you, they are now almost computer wizards.

Here are my students for computer, they are very nice students comprising youths in school, teachers, headteachers and many other categories. You can imagine being a teacher to all these categories, surely I am proud to be their teacher, mentors, lecturer, plus name them. At first, I got afraid thinking they were not going to listen to what I would be telling them since they are composed of big people in big offices, but it was again the opposite, every thing was very fine, they even called me sir :).

We are at the moment squeezed in the small room but however we look forward to working on the bigger room so that we have enough space and that we don’t interfere with internet user’s freedom. Secondly our biggest constrains now remain power, since using the generator and petrol has proved very expensive coupled with the increasing prices of fuel, you can imagine buying a Litre of petrol now at 4,400/= UGX (Approx. 2 $). We hope to have power soon to reduce the extra cost being met. Plus also we look forward to getting more computers and reach to many people and make more computer literate people in Padibe.
