"dear ms hanning!

Maureen Theodore
"Dear Waacis Team,
Now that I have finished my course, I thought you may like to know that I was very satisfied with my tutor. She was pleasent and understanding and was able to help me out with a great deal of minor problems I had before she came. In the course in general I have been helped a great deal in finding my way around the WWW and finding some interesting sites.
I think this course is very help for blind and partially sighted people, and perhaps more people should have access to this training. I wholly support what you do at WAACIS and may you continue to help other people in similar to myself.
Thank-you very much."
Ian Cochrane
"Hi, I'm writing to say that I'm absolutely delighted with my computer and the training sessions. We have done quite a lot both on word and the internet. Next week we are doing desktop publishing. Tricia is a great teacher and very easy to work with. I go thought the homework each week and then come back to her if there's anything I'm not sure about. I'm now shopping with Asda online and that has made life much easier as I'm unable to carry anything. Tricia writes down notes on everything she shows me and I type them up and then try everything. Thank you very much for everything."
Susan Roche
"I want to thank you for the opportunity you gave me to learn how to use my computer. Being quadraplegic and having to use my voice alone has been quite a hard slog but with Patricia Wwebb as my teacher, her patience and determination we got there in the end. Many a time I wanted to give up but she wouldn't let me and together we mastered it. A big thank you to her and your organisation and may you long continue to help people like me."
Naomi Atkins.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Boyko - an excellent tutor - and after all these years I feel quite modern and 'With It'. I realise that it's now 'Up-to-me' but the course has opened new windows in my life."
Pamela Canty of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire.
"I am writing to thank WAACIS organisation for the help I have received over the last few weeks. Patricia Webb has been most helpful and has certainly devoted more time to the lewssons than is obligatory. She has taught me how to use a computer. There is much to learn, but she has put me on the right track. The course you offer is most important, particularly for disabled people of working age and the elderly - no such service is available. I have aapproached local colleges, organisations for the blind, social services, and these people seem only to help where there are prospects of employment - one is left feeling on the scrap heap. At least now, any advice I need can be obtained through the net., and my horisons and interests have been widened. So, I would thank you once again and hope that the work of this organisation can be widened beyond the London Boroughs."
George French of Lewisham..
"Thanks to the WAACIS course I have more confidence in using the Internet."
Gerry Bolton of Paddington.

David Hart of Streatham.
"I now have a great deal of confidence in using my computer to its best advantage in surfing the Internet."
Graham Munford of Ilford.
"I was pleased to receive my WAACIS achievement certificate."
Mohan Padake of Surbiton.
"Computers came into my workplace after I had retired, so it was most beneficial to have professional tuition on a one-to-one basis to learn about the Internet."
Myles Coffee of Finchley.
"The lessons proved to be invaluable and most informative."
Jacqueline Bradshaw of Chiswick.
"Thank you for all the help I am receiving."
George French of Catford.
"I use the computer for Internet shopping, emailing family and friends, visiting website and writing letters to newspapers or the BBC expressing opinions. This means that although I am largely homebound I do not feel cut off."
May Walker of Kew, Richmond.
"Your course gave me sufficient self assurance to take out an annual subscription to an unmetered call package."
Colin Endersby of Leytonstone.
"I found the course helpful and, as an elderly and disabled woman living alone, it gave me a new lease of life and an interest."
Joan Grimley.
"As going places is a bit difficult since my stroke I write book reviews for my professional journal. And it is easier to keep in touch with friends abroad I have lived in USA and Australia."
Joan Reilly of St Margarets in Middlesex.
"Thank you very much for the course, which has been very useful."
Turham Dervish of Waltham Abbey.
"The biggest benefit I have gained is the knowledge that physical restrictions do not have to stop me knowing the same information and using the same facilities as people who are not disabled. In my own home I can access libraries, newspapers, magazines, talk with people who share the same interests, and do my own shopping. Well done WAACIS - I owe you!"
Moira Winsor of Richmond.
"I would like to thank all concerned at Waacis for giving me the confidence to send emails and come to terms with the web."

Rita Wright of Redhill, Surrey.
