There is a great  divide in our communities between our community members and computer skills. It is very important for community members to be able to use and understand how to use a computer so that they can apply for jobs, keep in touch with family and friends, and stay updated on current events. A large number of the community actually need help just turning on a computer and sending a email or uploading pictures. Most people won’t ask for help because they are either embarrassed of not knowing how to do it themselves, their pride gets in the way of asking for help, or because they are scared of computers.
