PEACE CORP VOLUNTEER TEACHES COMPUTER BASICS IN MOZAMBIQUE
In Mozambique, our computers are being used by a Peace Corp Volunteer to teach students how to use a computer. The majority of these students had never used a computer before. Giving students hands on experience is especially valuable in a place like Mozambique, where applying learned concepts through practice is extremely rare.
EMPOWERING DISABLED CHILDREN IN PERU
In Peru, Manos Unidas school provides education for children with significant disabilities. Manos Unidas uses computers from InterConnection to teach functional academics, independent life skills, sexual education, inclusive vocational and occupation education, and community inclusion. Without Manos Unidas these children would be ignored; considered a lost cause with no hope for a productive future. But by having access to computers, along with dedicated teachers, these children now have a bright future as contributing members of society.
