To date the bureau has grown and I have 5 desktop computers that I am using to train out of school youths in computer applications. The bureau serves as an after-school hours learning center for school going children age 6-13 years.

In my business i do all computer services like; typing, photocopying, scanning, document editing and e-mailing.
