Bayan Telecommunications’ Teach Lola campaign is an initiative to bridge the communication gap between the younger and older generation of Filipinos by pioneering the drive towards encouraging the younger generation to take the first step to bridge the digital divide by teaching their grandparents how to get connected to the world through the World Wide Web. Since its launch, the site has become an avenue where people can go to get references on how they can teach their grandparents the Internet, as well as generate a team of young movers ready to extend the Internet audience to the older generation.
