The Rotary Club of South Triangle donated computers to the “Computer school-On-Wheels” (COW) last August 10, 2006 during its regular meeting. Because of COW’s wider reach and mobility, RCST acknowledged the importance of the donation to help sustain the operation of COW and achieve its goal, that of providing free quality computer training on site to the less fortunate residents of Quezon City. The computers came from the stock of the club when it was still doing its own computer literacy project. PP Willy Chi donated two computer monitors and Rtn. Sonny Roa-Yu donated another computer. In a simple hand over ceremony, Pres. Manny Guballa handed the computers to Mr. Bryan Asiatico who represented COW. For more information about “Computer school-On-Wheels”, click here.
