50 Laptops Donated to Vanuatu

The Marine Reach Ship the Pacific Link will be distributing 50 donated computers through the islands of Vanuatu.  Some of the desktop computers that were donated will be part of a training and medical centre that is being built on the main island, Efate, near Port Vila.

The centre will provide training and medical care to men, women, and children. The primary focus of the centre will be victims of domestic violence, with one of the offered courses being a three-month computer science course to introduce them to the basics of computers.

The donated laptops will be distributed to schools on the Torres and Bank Islands in the upper islands. They have all had the contents of Wikipedia downloaded on to them. which will be beneficial because internet access in the nation was extremely scarce.

Teachers of the Nations

Teachers of the Nations is a ministry of Youth With A Mission Worcester and was founded in 2012. The goal of the ministry is to enable and empower young girls spiritually, intellectually and emotionally for success in life. For instance, the girls have benefited from teaching on God’s view of their sexuality and womanhood presented by a female Christian doctor.

The ministry also helps the girls in practical ways such as providing clothes and shoes as well as school supplies to the girls and their family members. Their goal is to improve the community as well. For this reason, they are involved in planting gardens, cleaning the school grounds in Avian Park, and providing needed tutorials.

Teachers of the Nations is looking for volunteers who are willing to come and serve in Worcester, South Africa for a minimum of one academic term which generally lasts three months. Our programs include weekly activities as well as seasonal events such as camps.
