Computer Lab at Masjid al-Risala

From the International Service Corps of Asia page (Facebook):


We at the ISC are committed to delivering digital technology to our partner communities regardless of the prevailing industry, manner of living, or socio-economic phase they are experiencing. Years of experience has taught us that incorporating computer literacy to our projects is valuable for recipients no matter what age. The families belonging to the mosque pictured here are primarily farmers. However, they have identified the value of providing computer access to their neighbors. So, though our projects mainly consist of supporting their agricultural efforts, providing community healthcare, and tutoring school aged children, it was a pleasure to also equip them with a desktop computer.

Our tech guys, Francis and Eldrine, have worked hard to configure our existing supplies to build a computer station at this masjid’s multi-purpose room. We don’t just hand out computers to anyone of course. This community partner has exhibited an enthusiasm and commitment to learning that has compelled us to take this step (as we have in a number of other communities throughout the Philippines). Their hospitality and willingness for personal development has inspired our volunteers every single week we make the trek to see them.

We look forward to teaching more computer classes here and to seeing where the future will take this loving community.
