The Tech Squad recently visited Oshakati and Outapi in the north. It's the first time the Squad has made it to the true north of Namibia (above the red line). It was also the first time that we split the Squads up and did workshops at two sites at the same time.
Overall it was a success. The workers at Catholic AIDS Action were very pleased with learning how to run a Photo Lab. They will use their new Digital Photography and printing skills to opperate a Photo Lab as an income generation project.
In Outapi the squad worked with members of the AIDS club and taught them basic computer literacy skills. Despite the 16 hours of driving it took to make the trip possible, everything went very well.
