Educate the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone

Project Supporter, 

Computer networking and hardware courses are becoming increasingly popular in universities, polytechnical institutions, postsecondary colleges, and private training institutions worldwide because of the high demand for people with computer networking and hardware skills. The DASL Computer Lab is now offering a computer hardware & networking course. The learning-by-doing approach is an essential component in courses on computer networking and hardware fundamentals.

These courses comprise various courses related to computer organization, electrical and electronics circuits. Candidates pursuing these courses also learn about the different parts of computers and how they function. The course enables them to figure out and fix hardware and network issues related to computers and other such devices. 

The objective of this course is to provide the participant with much-needed knowledge of computer hardware and networking, enabling them to identify and rectify the onboard computer hardware, software, and network-related problems in Engine Room, Integrated Automation systems, Home or Small office network and Navigational equipment on Bridge.

With the help of this course, the participant will be able to understand the hardware specifications that are required to run operating systems and various shipboard application programs. Also, upgrading of existing hardware/software as and when required. The main aspect of this program is to eliminate costs for the shore technician boarding the vessel to troubleshoot, install/configure the application program, and network-related problems.

We greatly appreciate your ongoing support for the future leaders in Sierra Leone. Thanks to you, more youths and young adults are getting the computer training they need for success in today's technology-driven environment.

Dear Project Supporters,

It is a long process to collect school supplies from donors around the world, then ship them to Sierra Leone, organize book bags full of school supplies once they arrive in Sierra Leone, and then finally distribute them to students, but the distribution has begun.

On Thursday, more than 80 backpacks full of school supplies were distributed to students from nursery school all the way to senior secondary school students in Freetown. This entire process is only possible because of generous supporters like you who help make it happen.  

Each book bag contained - notebooks,  erasers, pens & pencils, crayons, a ruler, an umbrella, and a pencil sharpener.  The students were all so thankful for the school supplies they received, like Mariama, who is in her second year of senior secondary school, and Samuel who will be starting class 5.

We are so thankful to you for your support! Our recurring donors are truly making a lasting difference.  If you haven't had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we warmly welcome your ongoing support for the future leaders of Sierra Leone.

Please share this project with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.
