Kaipara Project

November 2007:
Tinopai School held their graduation in November 2007. We shared a meal first and the children played in the twilight before we made our way to the library/ICT centre for the graduation ceremony and briefing session. Some of the parents email in their progress, but many are in more remote areas without telephone connections and rely on the CIH workstations at the school for accessing the internet.

October 2007:
Kaipara Harbour is one of the new 2007-08 projects, beginning 15 families out of Tinopai School. Liz the Principal had heard of CIH during her time in Bluff and was keen to provide the opportunity to the Tinopai community. Some families are without power and telephone lines, so laptops have been rolled out. Children can charge them up during the day at school, then take them home to do their homework. Quite a few Dads Koros and Uncles have joined the training under Bronwyn's guidance and graduation is set for late November.

September 2007:
Tinopai School on the Kaipara Harbour is beginning training for 15 families. Tinopai became involved after a chance meeting between one of their teachers Bronwyn, and CIH National Coordinator Di Das at the WOMAD Festival in New Plymouth in March 2007.
