Jason Carter: Taught computer literacy to South African teens & teachers

[In Peace Corps in RSA] my efforts in teaching computer continued. Some days I taught lessons to Sandile and his friends, or the few teachers who lived in Lochiel. Sandile [was one of] my most loyal students. After they learned the basics of computer literacy, we made all kinds of documents. Eventually, I would just lend the laptop to Sandile so he could play games or teach others how to use it. He and his friends knew more about computers than any other high school students in the history of Lochiel
