[Mzwakhe Makhalemele]

ICT SUPPORT FOR NGOs IN BRAAMFONTEIN

17 May 2005

Wits Club, Wits University

-----------------------------------------------------

SANGONeT, the Wits Computer School and Ungana-Afrika would like to invite
all
NGOs based in Braamfontein and the greater Johannesburg CBD area to a
workshop
on Tuesday, 17 May 2005, at the Wits University campus in Braamfontein.

The aims of the workshop are to assess the ICT support needs and
requirements
of the NGO sector (e.g. hardware and software maintenance, training,
planning,
support, etc.) and to reflect on a proposed strategy to support NGOs in this
regard
with the assistance of Wits computer science students.

NGOs are invited to use this workshop to highlight their experiences and
expectations
with ICT support, as well as to assist SANGONeT, the Wits Computer School
and
Ungana-Afrika in developing a well-coordinated, relevant and cost-effective
ICT
support strategy and service for the local NGO community.

The intention is to utilise Wits computer science students during their
holidays to
provide dedicated ICT support to NGOs in Braamfontein, and as a result, make
an
important contribution to the work of the local NGO sector, while at the
same time
providing the students with an opportunity to gain practical experience.

The workshop will be held at the Wits Club, West Campus, Wits University
(09h00-
13h00).
