In keeping with its goal of spreading the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT's) in Pakistan in general and remote areas in particular, SDNP conducted an Access workshop in Killa Saifullah, Quetta on April 12th 2001, in collaboration with the Water Environment & Sanitation Society (WESS).

Eighty participants from different walks of life participated in the training workshop. They included NGO's, CBO's, teachers and students. Mr. Jan Mohammad began by presenting an overview of SDNP's activities. He then proceeded with an introduction to the origin, structure, mechanics, and usage of Internet and email. The participants enjoyed the hands-on session, going through the various informative websites and mastering the techniques of using search engines to download the maximum information in the shortest possible time. Some examples of e-commerce were also explained to them.

Mr. Aslam from WESS thanked SDNP for its initiative, and hoped that further such workshops would be conducted in Loralai, Sibi & Khan Nawzai.
