The Internet Resource Centres

"dedicated to enabling Internet professionals to harness new technologies and embrace opportunities for success"

There is great disparity between the developed world and the developing world. Governments and politicians are doing their part but efforts are not enough to enrich the lives of the common people. The Internet can link these people to others and can bring education and other resources to their door step.

The Society of Internet Professionals (SIP) has ambitious plans to set up Internet Resource Centre (IRC) worldwide, with the noble objective of increasing the awareness of the Internet and transferring knowledge. Visitors to the centre will have access to the following resources at no charge:

•  Computers
•  Computer Books
•  Internet Access
•  Training & Skills Development
•  Online courses

Sponsors
SIP is willing to work with the following organizations (particularly in North America ) to resource such Centres internationally:

•  Not-for-profit organizations/NGOs
•  IT /Internet/Computer Associations
