"Fear gripped me when I heard of TDEP because I could not use a computer. After they taught me to use it, I improved my English and Mathematics and have confidence in my academic ability." -Joanna Jleh-Saletti, College of Health Sciences

"I had forgotten most of the work I did from K-12th Grade due to the civil war. TDEP refreshed my memory and I gained knowledge of computers and the Internet. Keep TDEP forever." -Rufus W. Wilson, College of Technology
