2209 Rosewood Ave. Late in the afternoon, a deep voice boomed through the East Austin Community Network Lab at the DeWitty Center. It's inspiring to see the sisters together. They come regularly to play on the computers or to do homework until their mom gets off work. The girls' mother is glad they spend their off time learning as well as playing.
Public access is great.
They don't have computers of their own but they've been able to learn so much. From those earliest days, D. R. was always concerned with typing her name correctly, writing notes and creating text documents. Her sister preferred to explore the Internet or play with the graphics applications. D. M. shares her favorite interactive websites with other neighborhood youth visiting the lab. Mr. Massie is one of the Center's first Internet Co-Trainers.
