I started life as an archaeologist before retraining in IT and have wide experience of work in the voluntary / not for profit and continuing education sectors in Scotland where I am usually based. This has included database design, hardware support, software support, website design and tuition.

From 2009 - 2010 I was  in Nairobi, Kenya as Assistive Technology Tutor with the Kenyan Society for the Blind. Then came two years in Ethiopia, working with the Addis Ababa HIV / AIDS Prevention and Control Office and the Ethiopian Midwives Association. My most recent stint abroad was another two years in Papua New Guinea as Provincial Capacity Building ICT Advisor on a United Nations Development Program / Ministry of Finance project. For now I am back in Scotland and a part time Open University tutor.

Thanks for this Don

I have nearly finished an 'Intro to Scratch for Grandparents' course and will be interested to see how it goes.

I am not much of a designer but do the occasional job, mostly producing pdf documents. Unfortunately Scribus will not do document tagging which is needed to produce pdf documents accessible to screen reading software, something that my clients usually want.
