Random question from an old My Kitchen Rules Villian
Hello,
My name is Kat Donald-Hill, some of you may remember me from My Kitchen rules, we werent very popular but i am using my infamy to hopefully gain som attention from older Aussies.. My Mum is 70 years old and feels completely isolated. She feels isolated by Mobile phones, the internet, emails and even tv as she cant understand how to access a tv guide unless she buys a newspaper..
Now, the reason i am talking to you all, is to see if there are any others like Mum out there, retired or otherwise who find it difficult to just get connected? I would love to organise some get togethers with older Aussies to help them with technology or just to get connected with things going on around them that wont cost money or talk to people to help with their tv's, or phones, or the internet, without making them feel "stupid" as Mum has said she often feels..
If you could please reply, just to get a sense of necessity, that would be wonderful x
Obviously those of you reading this are a lot more apt with technology than some, including Mum... But if you do know of friends or family, i would love to hear from them via you
Kat
And if you hadnt done that- you would never have met the love of your life
It was fate that brought Mustuffa to you
Soul Mates now - so happy for you Cats
Kat most of the Libraries in Perth offer Computer classes plus regular meetings on different subjects. I presume she is a user of her local library? Would she attend those talks she may well bump into people she has known in the past at those meetings. Looks like an interesting talk is coming up about King Eddies so she might relate to and enjoy going to that one.
Also City of Vincent runs free computer classes ( my local library appears to charge $10.00 I) the following might help her.
Throughout 2017 City of Vincent Library and Local History Centre will be hosting monthly Computers for Seniors Workshops facilitated by Brenda van Rensburg, co-founder of TechCamps4Kids. These two hour workshops are targeted at people with very basic or no computer experience and will be held in the Library’s Media Room where participants will have hands on access to computers.
