[ILUG] Camara Africa 2009

[Hester Jackman]

*What are you doing this summer???*

*Africa Teaching Trip with Camara 2009 *

Camara is a registered Irish Charity staffed primarily by volunteers. Our
mission is to enhance the educational system in Africa by using Irish
technology resources. All our computers we send out use Linux as the
operating system and are loaded up with edubuntu software.

Each year a group of Camara volunteers travel to the computer labs and hubs
that Camara have set up in a growing number of African countries, to teach
basic and advanced ICT skills.

In July 2009 Camara will be sending volunteers to teach in our EDU-Labs in
schools across Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and
Zambia. Volunteers will teach introductory computer Hardware and Software
skills in schools and educational institutions over a four week period.

Volunteering abroad with Camara gives you that chance to get involved with a
local community in Africa, it is a great opportunity to share and pass on
some of your own skills.

I am pleased to announce that information and applications are now
available, please follow this link

and further details of the trip.
