Type in the**Mission Statement** Progress Note on my project: I contacted with Good Samaritan Ministries. GSM is supported by a diverse "multi-national team" of dedicated, warm-hearted Samaritan workers worldwide. GSM reaches out in compassion to help those in crisis within their communities through counseling, fundamental education, and emergency services without fees regardless of race, nationality, religion or economic status. An independent, faith-based counseling & training ministry. They serve Africa and Middle. I asked them how technology has helped them to reach these countries and what challenges they are facing with technology. They indicated that their web site, fax and e-mail are being used to communicate with these countries. The greatest challenge for them has been competency and culture. Most of leaders of these countries are used to old way of doing business and are not open to technology. In addition, they use of technology is very basic. E-mail is the primary tool. however with time differences, messages do not get to people on timely manner. Another problem is lack of technicians and equipments in repairing technical problems and/or replace needed parts to fix the problem. According to GSM, culture and the willingness to learn new ways of communicating appears to be the greatest challenge.
