wow! it was wonderful to see all the projects world vision is involved in in el salvador.
world vision places a high priority on education and this is a computer classroom wv donated to the school. wv provided the money for the computers and pays for servicing them. the lady is the school principal and the man is danilo our translator.
the computer centre started in 2003 and 420 kids from grade 5 to 12 have taken courses. last year the school children won a national award in creating a website. the 3 best students get certified by microsoft. grade 12 students come to the centre to use the computers. the teachers and community leaders also learn how to use the computers.
most of the kids in the grade 3 class we visited are sponsored children. there was a boy in grade 3 that looked a little embarrassed when the teacher said he was 14 years old. i was just glad that he's getting the opportunity to go to school, better late than never.
