Computer Training in Africa

[Prince Mac Obiri-Mainoo]

Our organization, National Africa Foundation (NAF) is looking for 
volunteers to travel to Ghana, West Africa next year summer (July or 
August) for a two-week training in computer software and hardware (repairs 
& troubleshooting) to some members of the National Association of Teachers 
(GNAT). A total of twenty (20) people are needed- twelve (12) adults, 
preferably teachers and eight (8) students, possibly high school juniors 
or seniors who could get some credit on their return from their school. 
This would have to be pre-arranged and approved by their school 
authorities before departure. 

As part of the preparation towards the trip, we are also looking for 
somebody who is knowledgeable in grant writing to help us put some 
applications together for possible funding. Alternatively, if anyone knows 
of a foundation that might be interested in funding towards an 
international project like ours, please let us know through this forum or 
by sending email to nafric at lycos.com. 

NAF was formed in May 2002 as an affiliate of the Virginia-based National 
Heritage Foundation (NHF) to provide various forms of assistance to newly 
arriving African immigrants in the U.S. in such areas as housing and 
accommodation, health and medical insurance and education. In Africa, we 
provide assistance in the form of training and counseling in the areas of 
education and other development projects that are meant to improve living 
conditions of people in the community. 

If you think you have the requisite qualifications in computer training 
and are willing to travel next summer, possibly in July or August, 2005 
for two weeks to Ghana, send email to the Executive Director, NAF at 
nafric at lycos.com for more information. Thank you for reading and for 
responding!
