Wilikina gets computer lab
A new learning center/computer resource lab at the Wilikina Apartments in Wahiawa was dedicated yesterday by the Housing and Community Development Corp. of Hawai'i and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The center's computer lab will help residents learn computer skills to do job searches through Internet services, create home business plans and conduct family events scheduling. Children living at the complex can also use the computers for their schoolwork.
HUD's Hawai'i office donated the computers for the Wilikina Learning Center. HCDCH provided the Internet connection and manpower to set up the center. Urban Real Estate, the managing agent for Wilikina Apartments, hired a service coordinator to develop a plan for the center.
Wilikina Apartments residents also recognized the Army and community and school groups for clearing 12 tons of overgrown vegetation and trash near the property in October.
