We are looking for skilled volunteers who can share their expertise with us.
we are willing to work with them as a team to ensure all activities align with our mission, vision and goals.
since our main aim is developing technology in our community, we really need someone to share his/her website development skills as well as other computer skill hence fulfilling our main goal.
we also need a librarian to guide us on how books are organized and how we can fully utilize all our available resource.
