Get Grandma on SKYPE

SKYPE is one of the best resources available on the web and provides the ability for users to video chat with each other! Imagine the joy grandma would feel when she can not only talk her far-away grandchildren but also see them at the same time. What could be better than that! Well, it does get better because it is free!

To use SKYPE, grandma would need a computer with an internet connection, a microphone, and a webcam. The SKYPE software is available for free from www.skype.com.

If you are even a little techie, please consider donating some of your time at a local nursing home or assisted living facility and help them get SKYPE working on one of their computers. And, they may need some help getting started using the service.

It is such a wonderful technology and it could bring such joy to the lives of a lonely senior!
