Description:
Bring a gift!
If you are coming to teach, or even just on holidays, there are many helpful things you can bring to support the children's education.
The kids here have access to laptops, but it is limited as hotel guests have priority for internet use. With large classes and a small number of laptops, most of the children have not been able to use the internet more than a handful of times. The Ometepe Foundation supports the laptops for kids initiative. We are especially interested in attaining the Eee PC laptop, specifically designed for children.
How people can help:
Buy a new lap top for a child and send it to a USA mailing address. We have several University groups from the US visiting every year and they can bring the laptops as part of their luggage. You can also visit the Island of Ometepe on vacation and deliver the computers your self. All children have access to the Internet, our limitations are computers.
