Update: We are please to report that first permanent Togo Internet Village Cafe officially opened in the village of Pedakondji in November of 2009. This coincided with the appointment of our first full time computer skills teacher, Mr. Edorh Gislain, who commenced classes on the 11th of November.
Local children's interest in the Cyber Cafe has been extraordinary, with around 300 children trained in the first month. There has also been a number of addition school teachers trained in the Cyber cafe as well during the first few months to augment the full time resources.
Our intent is to provide free services to all of the children in the area. However, we are beginning to subsidize the ongoing running costs by offering limited availability to the adults in the village for a small fee.
We greatly appreciate everybody's donations and the ongoing support of our local community partners and particularly the schools of the surrounding villages.
We are continuing to look for ways to expand the program to reach out to more children.
