Leave at Pemuteran village a small village at north Bali with around 7.000 peoples, which is located 150 km north-west from DENPASAR. Most of peoples are farmers and fisherman, they have to work really hard to pay their children to go to school.Every day there are a lot of children came to our house just wanted to seen what is computer?

Because of a lot of children in his school would like to do it and in the evening their coming with their parents and wish their children can join with us than in May 2008 I paid an instructor to teach them computer in my house.
