The Cripple is healed

“I was once cripple but now I can walk!”

6 months from now, the Joza Youth Hub Computer Lab was justfinished, made ready for use. Fourteen computers, fully functionaland in good condition, so it seemed until two computers were dysfunctional/ broken …

These two computers just decided to go without a word or saying'goodbye'... A possible explanation for this is the following:

The computers were relatively old and Grahamstown recently and regularly has load shedding occurring every now and then. On a very unexpected pleasant day, the 'enemy' – load sheddingstruck the entire location area leaving us in dark... After that and after finding out that two of the Joza Youth Hub computer lab computers were not working any longer and after sometime of trying to fix them, but couldn't be fixed neither by myself nor Richard Srickland, I then branched out to Gareth Walwyn (AMP! Director) for supplies to assistus get the computers to work again. But something better was offered to us. Two new “legs” - computers... after crawling for a couple of weeks...

We finally leaped for Joy! Proclaiming I was once cripple but now I can walk. So we are now back to 14 computers again. All thanks to Di Hornby from Rhodes University who generously organised the donation.
