These are some of the photos that we took while setting up the Computer Lab at Nyumbani Village Kitui, This was two weeks ago, Ed is a volunteer from the United States (based in the Village) - He is in charge of the Lab. The laptops are Pentium 3's, 128 MB RAM, 5GB Hard Drives. We initially had 10 of them but, only 8 worked and are being used by the children.

The laptops are placed on makeshift tables in the Library which is very big and wide, I think they have plans to partition the room into two different rooms - the Lab and the Library. Tables are also being built up by their carpentry section specifically for the Laptops. Everything is a mess right now because we are just starting up. By the way the are getting electricity in less than six months At the moment they are using a generator to power up the offices and the Library

I will keep you posted on the progress of the children, on this particular day the children got to play games and I was surprised by how fast they grasped how to play these games considering this was their first time using a computer. (Must be something to do with children and games).
