Computer Lab for High School

$12,000

A COMPUTER LABORATORY FOR THE SCHOOL

Soke Rotary Club of District 2440 Turkey

is looking for a project partner to match a grant with the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.

Soke, a town located in the province of Aydin, Turkey, has a total population of 80,000 and 300,000 people with its surrounding villages. It has a large agricultural land and it is one of the biggest cotton producing area of Turkey.

The 15 members of the Soke Rotary Club, consisting of 15 Paul Harris Fellow member, and 1 Benefactor, have been providing services to this area for the last 25 years.

The government of Turkey has put forth a lot of effort to reform the education system and has started by passing a law which requires children to stay in school for 8 years rather than the required 5 years previously. The Technical High School needs to have a computer lab so that students can get introduced to the latest technologies at an earlier age.

The Soke Rotary Club has decided to establish 1 computer laboratory that will consist of 20 computers. The lab will need to have one main machine with 19 terminals. The overall cost of the labarotary is US $12,000. Thanking you in advance.
