German organization provides financing for library
Monday, 29 December 2008
Since the current school building just provides enough space for the computer class room, a second building is required to house a library for reading and self-paced learning.
The German organization Stiftung Umverteilen provides the required funds for the construction of this building which will give our students more room to study. In the name of our students, the TCEC team would like to thank for this generous support.
The preparations have already started and the construction of the library will soon begin.

New Year greetings
Tuesday, 01 January 2008

The Tadlo.net project team wishes you a Happy New Year!!!

The development of the Tadlo.net project has progressed very well in 2007. We have built our own school building, installed the computer network and can now provide our students daily lessons with hands-on experience in the new classroom. More than 70 students regularly take advantage of the free education offered at the TCEC. This development was backed by the engagement of many people. We would like to thank all our supporters for their commitment.
We are actively working on the further development of the TCEC. In 2008 we will first focus on employing a local teacher and on implementing the construction of our library. We are still looking for sponsors to cover the expenses. More information about the future development of the TCEC can be found here. Please contact us if you would like to get involved in the further development of the Tadlo.net project.
