I came back to a developed city. Our center that was previously 4 computers and an unenthusiastic team of "voluneers" has now become one room of 10 computers and a second conference room with one large table, 10 chairs, and bookshelves. I already came in to label and organize all the books we'd already donated. Now they have little spine labels and a check-out card! The success of that, however, depends on how many people want to read. But at any rate, the room looks good. I feel like with this center, kids finally have a place to just go a few times a week and see what's going on. There are seminars and online chats--but mostly they just look at pictures online. At least they are getting some practice with technology and seeing other kids acting like civil people for once!
So I was asked what is positive here. . . I think this is one thing. We now have public internet.
