      Supported New Hope Orphanage in Busia Uganda. Provided IT Support to a local internet cafe that is linked to the orphanage. When I arrived, hardly any of the IT equipment was working. I was able to fix the equipment and set up a process for paying customers to use the service. This provided work to members of the community as well as providing a valuable resource for the local community. Supported New Hope Orphanage in Busia Uganda.
