The sample of gratitude letters from the headteacher and students are handwritten because the schools did not have printers. Electricity, paper, ink and parts are too expensive.
Letter from the teacher
Hello Candyce,
We would like to thank you for choosing Twabuka School as one of schools to benefit from your donation of computers.
Before we received the 11 kids computers, our children didn’t know how to operate a computer. Now most of them are able to type and do or play educative games such as math and spelling games.
Since the coming of computers, we are able to open a computer class. This is in line with the new school curriculum. This grade seven should be examined or write a computer examination. All the best.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Moonsa E. (acting Headteacher)

“The computers are tools that brighten the minds of kids and keep them interested in learning,” Musa Ncube, teacher, early childhood 3 to 4-year-olds.
“The computers teach problem solving by playing games. Young kids learn to draw, scribble and write,” Thoko Sibanda, teacher, early childhood, 4 to 5-year-olds.
“Because the information is in the programs, the computers help the students to think fast. The games motivate students to learn,” Sibo Sibanda, teacher, fourth grade, 9-year olds.
“For junior students, the computers opened up their world. They can see things outside of their country,” Melody Simwanda, teacher, fifth grade, 10 to 11-year-olds.

“Now we are more prepared. We can use the computer to teach social sciences, natural sciences and math. The teachers now are empowered,” Reginah Jere, head teacher.
“At first we knew a few things. We used the computer to play games and learn music. Pupils knew how to take a selfie. After the training, we know many more things about the computer, that they are very rich with content, We know about the library and how to use the intranet so children can work together,” Muleya Current, teacher, grade 6, 10 to 11 year-olds.
