Graduation: Advanced Computer Class

The past few weeks I have continued teaching the advanced internet class. The students are great and almost everyone who began the course the first week passed the final exam. These students are now capable of creating electronic catalogs, saving them to a disk and attaching the same file to an email. This is very important because the majority of their clients prefer to conduct all business via the Internet. Hopefully, the artisans will now take more ownership of their computer related needs.

In order to celebrate graduation, I convinced my counterpart NGO, Cite Ceramica, to spring for a little graduation outing. After the final class on Friday, we headed to a restaurant that served rotisserie chicken. This was a big deal for most of the students because most only get to go out to eat once a year, if they get to dine out all. After dinner we grabbed some quick ice cream. I think everyone was pretty pleased with the night and the course overall.
