Our Computer Trainee Show Us How to Format Text - Proof of Training Effectiveness

We are delighted to share with you a video from the Develop Africa computer lab where one of the girls - Josephine, walks us through what she has learned - how to open a document and format text.  At what age did you learn how to format text - making it bold, change the size and color?  In the video, Josephine proudly shows us what has she has absorbed, skillfully demonstrating her knowledge.

Background information about Josephine: Josephine is a pupil at the FAWE primary school.  Her favorite subject is English Language and her hobby is reading novels. She wants to be a banker when she grows.  Her father is deceased and she has four sisters, three brothers. One of her uncles is a baker and the main provider of the home with monthly income of $100 - not enough to cover the basic needs of the home. Josephine wanted to become computer literate as this will help prepare her for her chosen career as a banker.

Josephine is currently thirteen years old.  While you may know of children her age that are more proficient than her, we are humbled and delighted to be able to provide this training to her.  Considering that there are many children and youths in Africa that are not able to do what she demos, we are overjoyed that she has already mastered this. Such training is in high demand in Africa.
