DAILY STAR: Negros Oriental: "A program of a Philippine Rotary Club, in partnership with a Rotary Club in Texas, USA, is starting to provide pupils of the Dumaguete City public elementary school system with advanced computer training.
The program was made possible by a $33,780 grant from the Rotary District 5800 of Texas to the Rotary Club of Park Cities Dallas USA and the Rotary Club of Dumaguete South in the Philippines District 3860.
The grant bought P4 Dell desktop computers that are now being installed in the City public elementary school system, while a pilot program is ongoing at the North City Elementary School “to iron out any kinks,” said BadeehNaifeh, a Rotary ambassador from the RC of Park Cities Dallas.
RC Dumaguete South immediate past president Alfredo Bustamante III, who forged the partnership with Naifeh and his club, said teachers are also being trained to impart computer-aided education to their pupils."
