The Orphanage "October 11" to Receive 3 Computers with Educational Software

Skopje - The Orphanage "October 11" the only orphanage in Macedonia. It is home to 145 boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 18 from all ethnic groups and from all over Macedonia. The children study in elementary and secondary schools in Skopje but starting Wednesday the children gain access to modern educational software in their home, thanks to a donation of educational programs from Login Systems, Skopje and three used computers from USAID.

" We are happy to join with Login Systems to see this equipment put to good use," said the USAID Mission Directior of Macedonia."Our mission is to serve all the people of Macedonia. We have hundreds of large projects all over this country. This is just one small way we can support a deserving community."

The USAID computer donation is complemented by a complete package of educational software worth $3,000 donated by Login-Systems. The state-of-the-art educational software which Login Systems donated will work very well on these computers. These computers will be placed in living areas of the children so they will be able to do homework and use computer games under supervision. It will give the children of October 11 Orphanage an opportunity to use modern technology in their home, which will serve them for the rest of their life.

" This is just a small gesture. But if other organizations look for ways to use their good quality used equipment, many people can benefit," said the Director.
