A New Volunteer

Marvin Coronado is a young man from Ixlu (the neighboring village) who became interested in computers about 2 years ago. He accessed every possible source for information here in the locality, and soon started frequenting the Internet Cafe in Santa Elena, where he began asking questions over the internet to find out all the things he wanted to know. If his results in the computer center are any indication, then this form of education is incredibly effective. In the last 3 Sundays, the only day he has free from the small office supplies store he opened in Ixlu a few months ago, he has had great success repairing computers that “experts” had given up on. He now has 7 old computers not only working and back online, but also equipped with Windows XP in Spanish!! He has also volunteered to sell us our computer/office supplies at cost through his store, and will be bringing another connector so that we can put more than 7 computers online. Having more working computers is going to be a great help during our computer classes when we always have 3 or 4 students per computer, and the rest doing other activities on the floor as they wait their turn.
