NUMBER SIX!

(As of January 2010, this project officially came to a close.We have been thrilled with the experience and are please to report the knowledge base and equipment is being split into two. The family-home/residential-facility aspect will continue on a similar but reduced basis as previously and returned equipment will form the beginnings of a new direction: that of connections between base campus here in West Auckland and regional centres spread throughout the KDEC catchment area.There will be no further postings to this site. For further information please contact Kelston Deaf Education Centre.)

August 2009: Well, it's been a little time since the last new installation but there are good reasons.

Another particularly complex installation was almost completed when, for reasons beyond our control, we had to cancel. Never mind. That experience simply reminded us that families are complex structures and don't always follow text books!



This 1 minute video shows an example of how things can go right if we have patience. All steps were followed without a hitch but it still took six weeks from start to finish. The delays were not helped by our Telco's "go-slow" strike!
