For those who are not too familiar with Computers you can link onto an Internet (Just Click on) FREE COMPUTER COURSE webpage. and you can learn some of the basics there. Your own computer should have some basic stuff on Windows Operating System.
This page has got training material to help lions to better their work and their knowledge. For example if a Lion wants to know more about helping the person he sponsor he or she can see below to either go directly to a course or to a webpage by Lions Intenation to click on their many training materials.
