Help APD Greater Johannesburg by donating 9 laptops for their organisation to be used by their Social workers
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
It has become necessary to use technology in order for our staff members to work effectively. The computers that our professional staff currently use have become obsolete and costly to maintain. They are incompatible with the rapidly changing software necessary to produce progress reports and conduct online meetings and case conferences with fellow service providers e.g., psychologists, physiotherapists, and teachers. We currently have 5 social workers and 3 home-based care supervisors. All of these require laptops, and our organization is financially unable to purchase them. We are therefore humbly requesting funds to purchase laptops for staff members who have been directly involved in the provision of services, as well as one for the director of the organization. This equipment will drastically improve the performance of our organization.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
