Emmanuel Mukomeza, one of Indego Africa's hard-working Rwandan interns, recently sent us a short report on the computer training program at our partner cooperative Covanya:
Computer training at COVANYA are going on well. The members are trying to pick what we teach them. The time to conduct the course changed because of the time table at school. I train from 1 pm that is after noon up to evening time on Thursday.
According to Menu Bar, we are done with “FILE” and important things that it contains, that’s Opening a new document, Saving documents and Opening the existing ones, Print preview and the Page setup. We hope these are the main ones that may help them for the basic Microsoft Word training.
We are coming up with “EDIT” and we’ll be working on the main ones like Undo and repeat typing, Copy, Cut and Paste, and others that may be necessary and may not confuse them.Actually, what is much interesting now is that many of the women are able to write some short stories and make a complete Microsoft Word document and the process of saving and opening the files that contains their writings.
It is necessary to show the process of any operation to every member one by one when she is writing some stories. Using that system we discover the weaknesses or strongness of each trainee and for that, I try to explain everyone accordingly to her capacity.
The interns -- remarkable university students on scholarship through Orphans of Rwanda -- not only save Indego Africa costs and perform a tremendous service for the women, but they also gain otherwise unattainable work experience that will propel them to even greater heights in Rwanda.
