I just spent the day with my dad and a few of his associates in Hawasa today. We went to a couple of coffee plantations as well as the Furra Institute, where we held our first class on software programs for GeoCDI.
Technology is spreading throughout Ethiopia at a fast pace, reaching even the most isolated villages. This is the first of a series of classes teaching people how to use Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. The class consisted of adults over 30 years old, most of them farmers. Since computers are becoming more available to even the most isolated towns, it's important to teach farmers how to use them to their advantage.
