A teleconference between MicroAid Office Jakarta with women group of Garden Vegetables in Wailiti village, Maumere
Result:
- Since August 2011 we have subscribed the internet connection for 12 months.
- We use the internet for email, storing photos and videos in online albums, using social networking media, instant messenger and Skype.
- Every Saturday in the first and third week, the Forum MicroAid Maumere {Kasih Insani Foundation, Sumber Hidup and Sari Dharma Indah} hold regular teleconferences between Maumere with MicroAid Office in Jakarta.
- In the teleconference we always share information, learning computer skills, edit photo online and discussion about the development of what is happening with the families in Maumere and news from MicroAid.
- Several times we took the laptop and internet to Wailiti village to hold a teleconference followed by the family group of Garden Vegetables with MicroAid Office Jakarta. They were all very pleased and impressed with the progress of such a technology. In fact, according to several people who witnessed, the event like this is the first time happened in Wailiti village.
Next step:
- We will set aside a budget of each micro-projects approved later to pay for internet subscriptions in the following months
- We will continue to use the internet to access email, storing photos and learn to use the media to send video and social networks, instant messenger and Skype
- We are now also starting to use Facebook and Linked In
- See the photos we’ve made in online albums that we’ve made on Picasa Web
Beneficiary comments:
- Daruni M. Moah: Very unusual and would not have thought that we could access the internet, talking on Skype and Yahoo Messenger. Thank you Pak Jalu who have taught us online and please note also that what we are doing this not been done by the society around us. Thank you MicroAid. God Bless You.
- Gaspar Djata Doy: I am very satisfied with this internet training; I will learn to continue to be skilled. Gratitude and thanks to Mr. Toby and Mrs. Amber Beresford who has provided funding for this training.
- Stanisslaus Kopong: Extraordinary, to be honest this is the first time I could experience through Skype and internet interaction. This experience is very valuable and expensive. Perhaps only Forum Maumere that had this opportunity. Thanks for the help and cooperation that has been established between MicroAid and Forum Maumere. It is very easy to communicate and help us to work quickly, effectively and appropriately with MicroAid.
