Can’t believe I have been here a month already!! There was only Isaac and I at work today. A late start too as we are going to a nearby school where the Initiation Ceremony (circumcision ceremony) is to be held 10th December and it has been suggested that might be a good time to get lots of people in one place and let them know about the Poly. I think a significant portion of the people might have something else on their mind!! At the school the organiser suggests as my thought about other things on their minds so we arrange to go back 7th December when there is another presentation to all the students and we can get to a captive audience. Then to the Bank to get a bank statement so we can do the end of year financial statement. This takes over an hour to get and then we hear to the Poly to make a start on the numbers. I make a start introducing Isaac to Excel. Bearing in mind he has not used a typewriter never mind a computer, he picked up the general concept very well. Some time to go though and we really need to get him a laptop. I have started researching potential sources of fundingfor that and others for the trainees and have set a personal challenge to get one in the next 6 months and 6 to 12 by the end of 2012. That will allow us to offer ICT courses for the 2013 intake.
If anyone at home knows a company that has some obsolete (for the UK) laptops and wants to help their corporate social responsibility programme please e-mail me and we may be able to help co-ordinate getting them over here. All we need is the ability to have excel and word plus internet so nothing fancy.
