The first Camara teaching trip to Africa took place in July 2006.
12 volunteers left Dublin to teach computer literacy in Ethiopia and Kenya for 6 weeks.
The Africa 06 volunteers known as the Camarades.
As this was the first such experience Camara had organised, volunteers were unsure what level of knowledge they would find in the classroom. They taught over 200 teachers in computer labs Camara had set up over the previous year. Volunteers were pleased to report that these computers were being used on a daily basis by school pupils and teachers alike. Extra classes such as web design, networking and hardware were also taught for those with more advanced skills.
