In today’s technology driven world, computer literacy is a prerequisite for many jobs and plays a big part in helping people transition from manual labor to skilled, professional jobs.
We have setup two computer labs here in Guatemala. One is located in Fundaninos located in San Jose Pinula. Where we have been teaching the children for the past 2 years. We have 10 good donated computers in the computer lab and we give weekly classes to the students.
Through learning to touch type, play educational games and use office applications they become competent in the use of a computer and are exposed to the many benefits technology can offer.
Thanks to donated laptops we received, five of the older students have own computers and are able to progress much faster in learning advanced office applications, email, speed typing and English.
Our other computer lab is located in a small school for street children in zone 13 of Guatemala City called Boca del Monte.
We setup a small computer lab and the students receive regular instruction on the computer both from us and also from the teachers there.
