Costa Rica
Farm: La Hilda EstateProject: Computer Primer
Costa Rica enjoys a higher standard of living than other
coffee growing regions. Yet, its rural communities lag behind more
developed countries, particularly when it comes to computer technology.
To
support their quest to attain more technological expertise, Farm Friendly
Direct™ is able to provide a
computer instructor to teach all grades at the school that serves the
children of La Hilda Estate. Future projects include gaining Internet
access for the school and the implementation of a pen-pal program between
students on the La Hilda Estate and their peers from Spanish Immersion
programs in the Portland Public Schools.
This program helps
us reach Millennium Development Goal number two, achieve universal
primary
education.
