June 17, 2004 by Genesis Leave a Comment

Caroline Fuseau, Africa Program Officer for Computer Aid International (CAI) visited HINT on June 17, 2004 so as to have first hand information on the progress of the ComICT Centre Project. During her visit, she was accompanied by Tinshu Genesis Gemuh, President of HINT Cameroon and Project Director to some government and private services including the Teachers’ Resource Centre, Provincial Delegation of Education, among others. Her visits culminated in a meeting with over 30 leaders of NGOs, schools, and community organizations interested in using computers in their work. By the time she left Buea, she was deeply satisfied by the work that had been done on the ComICT Centre project and announced that Computer Aid will be willing to help ship the computers needed for the ComICT Centre Project if HINT Cameroon will only provide shipping and handling charges.

CAI is the world’s leading donor of refurbished computers to the developing world. Their goal is to help bridge the digital divide.
