We have received a significant gift from the Dell Development Fund of 25 Dell desktop computers, 2 Dell notebooks and a
significant cash donation to establish digital learning centres in our community.
Using the cash portion, we plan
to upgrade twenty of the Dell desktop computers to six and ten user networks using a thin client solution and to install these
networks in schools and community centres within our community. The remaining five Dell desktop computers will be used for administration
purposes and to create free educational content for our 2Enable platform. The two notebooks will be used to enrol members in
our program and for training purposes.
All surplus funds from this donation will be used to develop and load all the science
content from Grade 8 to Grade 12 on our 2Enable platform. Each of these modules will be branded with the Dell logo in recognition
of their generous donation to our program and community.
We are now meeting with the Autotec Foundation and other non profit
orgisations in our area to ensure these networks are installed where they are most needed.
The Dell Development Fund supports the CMDA
