Community Involvement

One of my goals with Univirtek Technology is to be active in the community.  Most of my friends and associates from my days in corporate america were aware of this.  As such one ex co-worker asked if I could help a residential retirement community with their computer development project for seniors.  I agreed because I wanted to give back as much as possible.  I started my research on how to introduce computer and associated technologies to seniors with little or no computer knowledge.  I was amazed on how much power, potential and independence that this project brought to the residents of this facility.  The residents became my students and were passionate about the possibilities of computing technology.  Most of the students reconnected with families and friends far away.  One of the residents worked on her genealogy.  I gained profound joy to see the excitement in their eyes and eagerness to learn more.  At Univirtek Technology we continue to look for ways to enhance the lives of people in our community.  Share with us what you are doing to enhance the community that you live in.
