Gary McLoughlin, Mahendra Bali, Susan Tukariri, Ngatokotoru Petero, Seneuefa Atonio, Andrew McIntyre, Limoni Aumanesulu, Praveen Shankar and Pouria Daryani graduated today at Awhina House from their 10 week course.

This is the 27th time we've run this course for blind and partially sighted members to learn more about keyboarding and computer basics, word processing and spreadsheets, using the internet for communication, social networking, e-shopping and travelling.

We wish them all the best in their future endeavours and hope that their new knowledge of adaptive technology will take them far!
