When Life in Africa foundation started years back or maybe sometime later, it was activelly  involved in Web Empowerment.That is training people from different communities in internet literacy. At first with the idea of developing it into a certifiable course for certificates for a given period of time. Though this did not work very well, it managed to have some of their existing community leaders both from Kampala and Gulu get free training to help them get online on behalf of their communities.This had so far worked very well, save for the disruptions that has been happening for the past two years. 

With the new developments at Life in Africa Foundation, we feel that there is even more need for these community leaders to get fully involved on line if their communities are to be represented and this will mean that they first have to get some ideas on how they will handle the whole online business in order to be of any help to their communities.We therefore are planning a one week long workshop for all the WE Network communty leaders here in kampala to help us impart these ideas to them.This may with time become one of the LIA Foundation activities.

This space therefore will be for exchanging ideas on how best we can plan the workshop and suggestions on how we can fundraise for the workshop can also be developed here.With everyone's help, I am sure this will be a very interesting starting point.
