Several schools and organizations in the Bream Bay area held computer literacy graduation ceremonies in December 2009 where a total of 52 families received certificates. Ceremonies were small, ranging from 4 to 16 participants, and were attended by local community leaders, teachers, and Computer in Homes staff. Special thanks were given to volunteers who organized and taught the various computer literacy courses. The document also thanked the Whangarei CiH Steering Committee for their guidance and looked forward to providing training to 140 more families in 2010.
