"We
are
celebrating
today the
entry
of
150,000
seniors
to
the
digital age”,
this was
highlighted by
the
executive
director
of
the National Social Ensurance Adminstration
(ANSES),
Diego
Bossio,
by giving
computers
to the senior
centers and
pensioners
across the
country.
"In
Anses
we work
hard
for
our
retirees, so
they can
access
to more
benefits and
facilities",
said
Bossio,
who
also
presented
medals
to
recognize
employees
who
worked over 30
years in this
institution.
The
official
referred to
the program
of access
to
computers
for
seniors and
pensioners of
Anses:
“Grandparents
PC
2010”, which
provides to
beneficiaries
the possibility to access to
a
personal
loan,
by
the
National
Bank,
and
provides
the necessary
training to
use
this
technology.
Also,
through an
agreement signed
between
Anses,
the National
Bank
of Argentina and
Microsoft,
there was created a
fund
for the
donation
of
computers
to senior
centers which
belongs to the
Training and
Social Integration Program,
