  • Linamandla Deliwe, Computer Lab Administrator at The Compass Trust

    “Many people who live in poverty have not been exposed to computers but most jobs require be computer literate. Therefore the work of The Compass Trust through the Vrygrond Computer Lab has assisted many of the Vrygrond residents and its surroundings to be computer literate. The Basic Computer course is essential in helping them to  learn more about computers. Some of our students have achieved a promotion in their work place or continue to study further in the field of computers. I started s a facilitator in 2013 and I have grown and built relationships with the students. The Vrygrond Computer Lab is a place that brings community members together."
