Girls tackle the digital divide |
|

|
 One of the most active clubs associated with the Global Connections and
Exchange Program in Bangladesh is the Girls Power Club at the Chowara
School in Comilla. For Global Youth Service Day 2006, the GPC organized
a digital learning camp for younger girls from the Comilla area.
Over the GYSD weekend, girls from disadvantaged areas of Comilla, many
of whom had never seen a computer before, were introduced to computers
and the internet. With their volunteer student mentors from the
Girls Power Club, the campers created works of art, sent email, surfed
the web, and made a story book.
