The first step was the internet connection, with wireless capability to connect the Music School to the internet. This is a reality in, thanks to the collaboration of the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE, for its initials in Spanish). As part of the technology outreach program, promoted by Harmony Developments in the community of Pochote, we have received a donation of eight computers by Mr. Walt “Cosmo” Schaefer and the Rotary Club.
This equipment will contribute to the technical and cultural enrichment of the population of Pochote and its neighboring communities, and will permit the opening of an internet café, “The Flower of Pochote” in our buildings. This service will be subsidized for our students, and open to the general public. Also offered will be copy and printing services, as well as international calls made by internet.
Online education is now within reach for our children, and this window to the world will open to strengthen the process of education and communication for our students.
The solidarity of our friend “Cosmo”, along with that of the Rotary Club, and the program of Social Symbiosis, proposed by Don Thompson and supported by the team of Harmony Developments, has made this dream possible.
Happy surfing!
