'With Thanks An' Warm Wishes!"
- Project Scotland Volunteer Chris Jamieson comes to end of Placement
Chris Jamieson Project Scotland Volunteer will be leaving very soon as his year placement with ACE IT comes to end.

Everyone at Caledonian House is in full agreement that he has made a terrific difference to us here at ACE IT and with the Moose project too - not only has he the technical expertise but the ability to impart information in a non 'geeky' way.

He is also very personable young man who been of great help and assistance to many individuals within the project and has also helped our learners outside of his remit at Caledonian House.

"Working full-time at ACE-IT has been, and still is, an excellent experience for me." Chris said. "I have learned many new skills in teaching, working with people and in IT and also many other less tangible social ones. It has also opened my eyes to the exclusion many older people face in our society - computer exclusion just being one of them - and how it can be alleviated. I've also seen first-hand how older people can make a little computer knowledge go a long way in improving their lives, from the extra time and energy saved from learning how to use a website to order their weekly shop through keeping in touch by using video conferencing software to chat face-to-face with relatives hundreds of miles away”.

A Moose Volunteer said. "We all wish him all the best and would like to say thank you from both Chris and me for all his cheerful and expert help at various times; and to tell him that he is someone we would be delighted to maintain contact with in the future".
