Another first for the region is the TEWOAF Computer Educational Centre at the Uluru Children’s Home being put together with the assistance of Engineers Without Borders (EWB).

The Computer Centre will vastly improve the children’s educational and employment opportunities and provides the local community with access to vital medical, educational and employment information online. The current six computer network will expand to include a multifunction centre featuring a projector and another 40 computers.

Children at UCH receive computer lessons several times a week, while children from surrounding areas also receive weekly tuition. The Centre has been a great success, with lessons for the wider community attracting large crowds at weekends.
