Delivering computers and investigating wi-fi connectivity at Madre del buen Consejo

Today, I travelled to Madre del buen Consejo to deliver all the computers, mices, projectors and computer speakers. The school students looks like the private elementary school that I have attended. All of them wears a uniform (teachers as well as students). Most of the students are from the poor family that could not afford an education. Some of the students are sponsored by the parish, Santisimo Sacramento. The school is about 1.6KM from the parish.

The school trip was tons of fun, and I really enjoyed seeing all the schoolchildren as they invited me into the school! The entire school came out to welcome us and it was very exciting. They performed several songs and dances as well that added to the fun.

The school students performing Peruvian folk dance.

The first time ever in my life that the entire school: students, teachers and principal welcoming us to their school. They even made a huge banner with all of our names on it.

I felt like a VIP (very important person)

Posing with some of the school students who are interested in learning American football. All the equipments are donated to the school.

Here we are ....doing the Tango with the students.......

We join in the Peruvian welcoming dance.

Last photo session with the entire school before we head off to start our mission.

After the introduction, I got to know several of the kids and took pictures with them. They were all very excited to see us as well!

The grandmother of this student ask for a photography session. I am so happy to have a snapshot with them.

My main objective is to bring technology to the school at Piura, Peru. It would be great if the school teachers can facilitate better teaching pedagogy through the usage of computers. It would make the lessons more fun and interesting. Hopefully the students will be more engaged and will continue their education to higher institution.

I am fortunate to have Michael, Rustin and Thomas helping me to unload all the equipments that we brought for the school.

Setting up the computers at the computer lab under the watchful eye from the director of the school.

The Physical Education teachers is very interested in computers. I  am showing him all the  softwares that are in the computers that we just brought in. I am using Google Translate to communicate with everyone. The wonder of technology..........

I am checking and trying to see whether there is any wi-fi connection at the school. I realised that the wi-fi is only for 5 computers at the school.  4 are at the administration building and 1 is with the Physics teacher.

Time to go back to the parish. All of us jump to the back of the truck. That's our transportation in Piura, Peru.
