Hi, am called kaija Samuel, a student and a user or

and beneficial once more.I have been able to acquired computer training that is
production, typing, soft ware updating, Microsoft programs {word, publisher and
excel}, has helped me get hopes of getting to acquire scholarship online and
also helped to link me to the out side world through the use of internet
provided at the centre. And more or so it being at the district headquarters am
am able adventure the work situation of
some people in leadership which helps me to prepare for my future being since
some of the the civil servants come and
interact with us in the centre.
Socially, am able to interact with different E-society users
and we exchange different ideas and views which are beneficial and
developmental which is also advantageous. I am always getting encouraged by the
trainers and some users who encourage me in computer training in show me how
more useful it is.
Generally I have acquired much from E-society, wish to have
more off this in the coming year because I believe to learn more in my course

GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS GAINED SINCE
I STARTED USING THE ESRC KASESE:
Appreciations;
With too
much gratitude in my heart I take this amazing opportunity to express thanks to
the management of Kasese district local government, Ric-Net and they partners
at large which has got a heart of gold to the community of Rwenzori Region to
have commissioned the installation of E-society resource centre, which is
currently operating in the premises of the district headquarters
“with
ITS strong vision and mission which states that a society effectively
using ICT for timely access and utilization of relevant information for
development and governance and initiate and support community owned information
centers that enhance timely information
and knowledge sharing up to the grass roots respectively”.
The
installation of the centre has contributed much to my live hood status since I
joined the centre and fulfilling some of my future dreams I had before coupled
to the world of ICT. Basically, since I have ICT skills that I achieved at
E-society resource Centre Kasese, I will need to concentrate on it –create job
for myself and the community in general instead of waiting for the government
to provide employment.
Achievements:
·
Communication skills and socialising
with friends especially civil servants at the District Headquarters.
·
Understanding components and their functions of any kind of the Personal
computer.
·
Demonstrating on how to troubleshoot
Computers, software installation, solving some other simple PC mechanical
problems and I have been well known for this, in absence of the ICT officer I
may be referred too both at the district headquarters and outside.
·
In addition, I have been able to train
my fellow youth and any other person particularly those who came to utilize the
Resource Centre in basic ICT skills such as Micro soft office programs,
Networking and Internet technology, Media and photo editing skills etc.
·
Another great achievement, due to Comprehensive
IT knowledge I have been participating in Data entry at the district planning
unit e.g. school enrolment data, Birth and Death Registration (BDR) and so many
other opportunities due to the skills I achieved at the Resource centre.
Biblically noted that “Jesus is the way to God, E-society resource
centre has been the way to my life achievements, without you RIC-NET, KDLG and
all your partners I wouldn’t have been the one you’re seeing now long live the
managements of all the organizations that have gone out wholehearted for the
community
As it is well-known that, when two grass hoppers fight it is the
cock which is beneficiary, the Host man ship between the RICNET, CIPESA, KDLG
and all members of RWECO has made me to benefit much in using ICT facilities.
Thanks

Hello out there,
My name is Okeya
Steven I have been a user of e-society resource centre kasese district
for over 2years, honestly the time I have been at e-society has been the most
awesome moments of my life. Frankly speaking, before I had joined the centre, I
was a super computer illiterate who could only admire computer users but can’t
access a chance to be one. It was one
time that I was moving along the kasese district headquarters and came across
my old O.G in trying to ask what she was doing over there, she told me she had
come for computer training at e-society from her home area kilembe. I was so much
surprised and motivated to have heard of FREE computer training available at
the district headquarters.
I never completed my adventure around the district
headquarters but I instead joined her for trainings, since then to now, I have
been a firm user of e-society. I never stopped coming but kept on coming day by
day, during all this time, I have
managed to master Microsoft office word,
publisher, excel, PowerPoint, access, groove, InfoPath, one note and outlook. Me who was empty like a blank page I have even
became a great internet user good at yahoo, Google, facebook, pintrest,
twitter, YouTube and lots more social websites
. I have made friendship outside Uganda; I have friends in Russia,
Australia, America and United Kingdom who we share different things like
banknotes, coins and so much more which was even out of my dreams.
Besides all this, with the great help of my instructor the
district ICT officer Mr. MUMBERE SAMUEL, one year back I started media editing
and have become a good video and audio editor with good video and audio edits
through video editing programs like Arcsorft, showbiz, windows moviemaker, Apad
video editor, Nero video wizard, Ulead video studio and adobe after effects and
Adode audition 1 and 5, I have been able to make radio adverts in these
programs, because I make an advert for e-society daily program, adobe Dreamweaver for audio, Photo editing
using adobe Photoshop cs3 and cs5.
Currently, I am learning to make music beats using FL
studio8. With all these skills, I have shouted and edited a movie by a group of
young actors and actresses that we created in the names of R.K ENTERTAINMENT in
my neighborhood – the movie is on YouTube http://youtu.be/h-p1HpiEock
I edited more videos about social accountability and Ict for democracy
for e-society.
Recently, I got a certificate for my end of training and I
was confirmed by the management to have become a good computer literate.
Honestly, I value
myself as a big man now compared to who I was before. I would really like to
take a special time to thank the concerned organizations together with the kind
help of kasese district local government for having given a poor boy like me a
chance to access a computer and be able to attain all these skills for FREE.
May the Lord award them with lots of blessings.
I remain Okeya Steven e-society user
Kasese
