Hundreds of women from the largest poor community in Brașov County are participating, starting this fall, in an Internet course and using a tablet or computer. The lessons organized by a social NGO from Brașov should help mothers who have not had contact with the virtual environment to guide their children and give pensioners the opportunity to manage when they need it. For example, when you need to make an online appointment with your doctor.
