TKKM o Taumarere has a special place in my heart and I always enjoy visiting their area. The kura has a roll of just over 80 tamariki and the passion and heart the Kaiako and Tumuaki have for their kura is inspiring. The kura came on board with Computers in Homes in July 2010, where they graduated 14 families. Now, in July 2011, they have completed another class of 12 and each whanau were rapt to graduate and receive their PC. Not many whanau have taken up the internet offer via SNAP, and this is due to most having cellphones and not landlines. It's a shame that connection can't be completed, but CiH is looking into other possibilities and options for internet connection. In saying that, the families were presented with a 4gb memory stick, so kids can use the training suite within the kura, save their work and take it home to continue on. Just because there may be no connection at home, doesn't mean connection isn't available!
Congratulations to all who achieved their 20 hours of training, thank you for making Maryrose's job of training you fun and worthwhile for her too. She enjoyed training this group and I believe it was a win-win situation for all involved.
