The Dragons had a productive meeting with Samba Guissee the Citizenship Manager of
Microsoft West & Central Africa, who has agreed to provide free software and digital literacy training to the girls in Kaolack. This is a hugely important promise, because the girls have already had computers donated but our concern was that without the right software and appropriate training, the generous gift of the hardware could be wasted.

This offer ensures a complete package can be offered to the girls which
will help enormously with our plans to mentor them via the internet from the UK. We are still working on getting help set-up of the
computers, and for ongoing support and maintenance.

The air conditioned offices at the Regus offices was a far cry from our time in Kaolack but we found ourselves missing it already. In the evening we experienced an African pub which was remarkably similar to back home. There were many people sat around having a drink and watching football on the big screen. Marieme Jamme was surprised to see her cousin and we had a lovely drink and chat with him before dinner.
