THE FIRST MOBILE computer training school program will be implemented in Limbe, located in Northern Haiti. The land area is 126 square miles with a population of 68,095. The city is about 26 km (16 miles) from Cap-Haitian, the second important city in Haiti.
Most school owners and school principals in Limbe would like to have a computer lab accessible to their students. Unfortunately, they not only lack the funds which will enable them to have necessary computers and accessories, but also a well-trained staff who can help with that type of investment.
To address the issue, we came up with the idea to implement mobile schools in the city. This new initiative will benefit students and school principals, as well as the community. Our computer school has no competitors in Limbe or in the rest of the Country. Furthermore, the idea to have mobile computer schools has never been explored before we came up with it.
The mobile computer training school program aims to familiarize students of different schools and levels with basic computer program. Technology, especially the use of a computer, has become a key element in all areas of the economy. Young people and students cannot find work or even be entertained without basic computer skills. The youth of the city of Limbe are virtually deprived of this training and opportunity. When launched, this program will have tremendous effect on the mental growth of the students. It will no doubt help student achieve their best academically and hence, will help them shape a better future for themselves. It is imperative that this program is implemented as early as possible in order to help those who are deprived of any knowledge of this technology.
The Rotary club of cap-Haitian will supervise both the equipment and installation. They will also schedule regular visit to the school to verify if and how the established schedule for the program has been followed and to monitor the accounting system.
we want to start on September 2014 or before and the program is for one year.
A minimum of 2,160 students in six different schools will sign up for the first year program. As we want a sustainable program (five year at least), a contribution of each student for the training will be five dollars and fifty cents on a monthly basis ($5.50 US/month)..
