350 out of school youths (OSY) of Paniqui will receive free computer education training courtesy of a joint project between the Aihu Foundation and the Local Government Unit of Paniqui, Tarlac.

Respective chief executives of both organizations signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) which formalized the project that is set to start on the 3rd week of January until the 3rd week of February.

The MOA signing was held in front of the 350 hopefuls at the Municipal Gym last December 22, 2008.

The beneficiaries will get free hands-on training on basic computer operations on a trailer truck converted into a makeshift computer laboratory.

On its part, LGU Paniqui will shoulder the accomodation fo trainors and electricity.

The beneficiaries were chosen via a screening committee led by the Municipal Social Welfare Office in cooperation with a group of computer instructors from the Aihu Foundation.
