WiFi Solution for Dunedin Families

Its true. After almost four months hard work by myself and some of the Steering Group we have got a solution for the families who do not have a landline or are on Satelite phones. We have our first eight families starting this month with ISP WIC. They will be supplying them with a WiFi connection for $28.75 per month, making it a very affordable option for most. It is a very exciting step forward for Dunedin Computers in Homes as alot of our families do not have a landline and rely on cellphones. This will no longer be a barrier for them getting their Internet connection. Thanks to Chris & Stu for helping get us to this point. 100% connection in Dunedin is now a real possibilty.

Stepping UP comes to Dunedin

The tutors are ready to begin and as interest is expressed classes will be arranged. At the moment we will be beginning with classes at Pine Hill School on Saturdays and depending on demand may be run morning and afternoon.

Green Island Begins 2012

Well after a busy holiday period we are all back and hitting the ground running. We hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday time but now it's time to roll up our sleeves and put our heads down. Term 1 2012 started for Dunedin CiH last night with a keen gathering of parents from Green Island School. Big thanks to Steve Hayward the Principal of the school for all his support and hard work in canvassing parents to get the project established at Green Island. We will be running 3 classes per week on Monday and Friday from 4-6.30 pm and a later class on Tuesday 6-8.30pm to cater for the participants struggling with child minding.We have a nice mixture of both mums and dads. Welcome aboard and pat yourselves on the back for the great role models you are showing your children/grand children. We look forward to your graduation which has already been planned. Watch this space for photos of this...... and YES I have added the photo from last night. Good photo even if some of you were taken by surprise. Now all thats left is to remove those covers and blow out the cobwebs and give the machines a whirl.
