Computer Classes Meet Expectations, But …
by Emily Moreton
A survey of students at
Mohomou Refugee School's computer classes, set up with donations from the
LeValley United Methodist Church, revealed mixed feelings about the classes, and
some very definite ideas of what should be done to improve them.
The students, mostly in eleventh or twelfth grade, range in age from fifteen to
twenty-one and are studying the second module of their course, Microsoft Word. Despite
the differing ages, the students all agree on one thing: they will need computer
knowledge to move on in their lives, and this class is the best way for them to get it.

Over 700 French Speaking Students Exchange Letters
by Sandrine Cortet
The very first letters have been exchanged between French speaking refugee and
non-refugee pen pals. There are 357 refugees students from schools in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Benin, Cameroon, and Burundi that have been
introduced to 351 students from France, USA, Canada, Russia, and Andorra.
Thanks to all the teachers, parents, and students. We convey our special gratitude
to all of the refugee volunteers and teachers. As well as to the seven non-refugee
teachers who were involved last year and who decided to continue the program again
in 2005-2006. We wish them all a great letter exchange, may the experience be warm
and constructive for everyone.
