Central Prison in Pretoria also a community project

Computer training for community members are one of the most popular projects for students enrolled for the Community-Based Project Module. There is such a great need for community members to be trained in basic computer literacy that it is very easy to organise these projects. One of the JCP-students, JG Heyneke, trained prisoners at the Pretoria Central prison to use and repair computers. He worked specifically with a small group of prisoners who are going on parole within a few months. He reflected afterwards that training these inmates was a great learning curve. He had to learn to talk to people on a level so that they can understand. He also had to have patience and experienced it that the inmates have a hunger for learning and that they respected him.
