After weeks of waiting for an opportunity to travel from Gomo to Padang, Dr Fasa finally made it yesterday morning. He is now the proud owner of a MacBook laptop and software donated by Lisa Friesen and friends via Island Aid. Dr Fasa spend all day at Island Aid HQ learning how to operate the computer and managed to download all his images and send them by e-mail on his first try. "This is so easy.... I always had so much trouble to send images to people... thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Special thanks to Lisa and family for raising the funds for the computer. It has taken a while to get it safely into Dr Fasa's hands but he insisted on picking it up in person to avoid any risk that it might not make it my mail or package delivery to his remote village. UNDP have set up a hot spot at the local village administration office and Dr Fasa is looking forward to contacting all his donors and friends to keep them updated on progress in his area.
