In August, 2008, the Howell-MOP Internet Café & Computer Skills Center officially celebrated its Grand Opening.

Earlier in 2008, OA was able to procure a number of computers. Then, with generous donations from OA donors, and with the enthusiasm and know-how of volunteer Carrie, from North Carolina, the internet café and computer skills center became a reality.

The café will provide income for MOP widows— a place for them to hone their business skills while providing a much-needed service to the community. The computers are also available to teach computer skills to both widows and orphans.

Now we need volunteers on an on-going basis, who are willing to teach computer basics as well as advanced skills!

Opening Day was celebrated with OA officials, government officials, MOP officials, and crowds of widows. It was very official!
