Summary of Project
Mrs Waller has brought IT training to a community in an area where IT skills are amongst the lowest in the country.

IT training is available due to her commitment to learn and her patience, professionalism and ability to impart her knowledge and skills to others.
One person has really made a significant difference to the community.
