Educate 89 inner-city youths and adults in Panama

I am very happy to share with you that for seven months our students have been studying online.  It was difficult at the beginning because our students did not have a computer at home and many of them did not have access to the Internet. But we raised a campaign to receive donations of cell phones for our students and data cards for their cell phones. And we got them.

Our students are using their cellphones to take their classes, do research, prepare and send their homeworks. They have done great.

They have also been volunteering to assemble bags of food and distribute them in the community, for their families and for all families in Curundu. Beautiful.

Thank you for all your support. You are part of the success of our students.

of cellIn Panama classes started on March 2 and were suspended on March 11 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Thanks to our subscription to the Google for Education platform, we were able to adapt and train the students to start the digital classes, which started on March 23. This is a great achievement.

Students do not have computers but use cell phones and free Wi-Fi offered by the government in the Curundu neighborhood. Not all of them had cell phones but we are collecting donated used cell phones for them.

Our school building is closed and so is the kitchen and dining room, but now that most families in Curundu cannot work and there is no food, every week we are bringing bags of food to our students' homes and to many other needed homes in the community.

Thank you for your support that allows us to continue educating young people from poor and vulnerable families.
