My Home & Community
My villages name is Telina. It is located right in the heart of Marovo Lagoon. This is the longest and the biggest lagoon in the world. We have approximately 400 population in the village and 1/4 of the population lived in town or other urban centres.

Telina is approximately 30 minutes by outboard motor from Batuna. The station where the OLCP project was recently deployed and it was a great privilege for my people of Marovo lagoon to access such an advanced technology which can link them to the rest of the world.

My Work
The Youthfirst Computer Centre (YFCC) was funded by the generous support from the Global Knowledge Partnership (GKP), together with the Member of Parliament for East Honiara in 2003. The main objective of this project was to provide affordable access to ICT for the people in Solomon Islands. This is done by providing computer trainings for the students, school leavers, youths and organizations in and around Honiara.
