Dear Friend,
We have been holding classes which have been encouraging of the young ladies who have been learning to make games by themselves and in some cases the students are becoming the teacher in Tohoku, Tokyo and Nagoya.
We are making efforts now to look into a more formalized curriculum and in talks with both sponsors and female executives in the tech industry on how we can make the course more engaging, appealing and at the same time have the students focus on skills now they can use in the future.
Our efforts in this space are not limited to Japan, at YouMeWe we feel it is important to have connections to children in other countries whereas perhaps one has never been to Brazil, the Philippines or Ghana but these countries have been brought to us vis a vis the internet.
We have young female instructors working with children in Brazil many of whom are young ladies and getting the first experiences in the operations of a computer.
Philippines joined which is an all girls orphanage where our teachers have been teaching them how to make games.
In Ghana the classrooms are co-ed and they are learning together.
We have also embraced young ladies as interns both from high school and university asking them how we can be more effective in our approach and so next update we should have more things to share with you.
Thank you again for your support. As the father of twin daughters, I am excited about the paths they have ahead of them along with the students we all support.
Regards,
Michael Clemons
