Computer Pictures

 

After the Rotary meeting on Wednesday, a delegation of 9 traveled to the community public school to inaugurate the computer lab for students and teachers. Club Rotario has 3 partners in this project.  The municipal Mayor’s engineering department provided the electrical work for the stations. The second is a nonprofit “Computodos” that receives used computers from a Rotary Club in San Palo, CA.  Computodos installs new electronics, larger drives and has license from Microsoft to provide its software.  A complete work station from Computodos costs $250. The third partner is West Bend Sunrise Rotary. Using funding tools provided by our Rotary District, Nancy wrote for a District Grant (DG) of $3,000.  The Sunrise Club approved the application and then submitted it to the DG committee who approved it in July.  The top picture is the new large computer room for the students to use at class time.     The second picture is the three computers in the principal’s office for the exclusive use of the teachers. The bottom picture is in a different classroom.  These students will begin early to learn to use computers for basic literacy skills.  Pictured (L to R):  Club Rotario President Omar, District Governor Violeta, Club Secretary Karla, project engineer Daniel and the school principal.  The next step for greater learning is to secure internet for the school and community.
