Our First Meeting

We launched about two months ago and since then countless number of people have come through the SDV doors to have their first interaction with computers.

And now seems like a good time for us to have a formal meeting with the community leader and elders to discuss the project and its future.

We have sent a letter to around thirty members of the community inviting them to attend the meeting this Saturday morning. Here’s what the letter said:

On behalf of the donors, volunteers and students at SDV, we would like to thank the leaders and elders of the community for their support so far.

We have had a very positive experience here and we are committed to providing access to technology and training, to the entire community, in partnership with the community.

In order to better plan for the future, we would like to meet with you to listen to you, consult you and also answer any questions you might have about SDV or Youth for Technology Foundation (YTF).

We also hope to establish an understanding that will lay the foundation for how SDV will continue to operate and benefit the community.


We value your input and look forward to the discussion.

Signed, SDV Volunteers.
