Organization’s Priorities for Implementation of Technology

Establishing a computer lab, the church hopes to provide the following services and resources to the community:

1. Installing various softwares to meet the community’s needs, e.g., educational programs, computer games, office software, photo, audio and video editing programs.
2. Tutoring programs to teach youth and parents how to use computers, web design, and graphic, audio and video editing, for which the church will invite university students to teach the community;
3. Setting up internet connection to provide access to internet resources  to help people with job searching, education, health, and entertainment since the library is far away from the community;
4. Parenting classes to young parents to help with parenting;
5. Connecting the computers to printer and copier for the community’s usage.

1. Internet connection
2. After school tutoring progarms for youth.
