Keeping connected - how a Gisborne charity is helping elderly, kaumatua and the technically challenged across the Tairawhiti Region. TaiTech is a not for profit that offers a range of courses and social opportunities for people.
Polly Crawford is the Operations Manager and says the trust aims to help anyone, but mostly the elderly, in learning how to set up and use devices.
This includes mobile phones, iPads and computers.
And 83 year old Nona Aston says Thursdays are her Taitech class days and what she's learning helps to keep her in touch with whanau living here and overseas.
