More Workshop stories

Family environment - we welcome the kids of all ages.
People bring their families and we get free cuddles - win -win all round.
This was the Boigu island team coping in the very small library on chairs
and on the floor while meetings occurred in the council room - our usual venue.


Back on Erub - Darnley island.
Old friends came in to refresh their skills and needed very little help.
It was terrific to see the increase in confidence.

New friends learning how to make music.
These communities are ready for their public access computers

The girls came in after school and when there was no room, they hit the floor and invited Michelle down to show off what they were doing.
They loved all the new software to make cool photo options and developed videos in an hour. Congrats to the Boigu SS ( Now campus of Taigai) for the great work in developing computer literacy in local kids.

Workshop fun

The workshops

The workshops we run are such fun. Nothing goes as expected but it is delightful fun. We are doing the repeat workshops now visiting communities for the second time. We found that people came back and joined us and brought along lots of new friends.


On Boigu, Michelle got on the floor with bunches of kids, who came in after school.

Paul helps out the men and usually they play with Google earth to start with.


We have been flying again. The flights around the straits are always breathtaking. It was a pretty cloudy day but it was still wonderful. look how clear the floor of the ocean is in these amazing waters.

These twins caught my eye as we flew over. Loved them.
