Challenge

When children have no family network, the priorities around their education over the basics of everyday living get left behind. We endeavor to use our curriculum to teach the children and staff about being good Digital Citizens. Quando as criancas sao criadas sem uma estrutura familiar, suas prioridades educacionais sao deixadas de lado para suprir as necessidades basicas. Estamos usando todos os nossos esforcos para conseguir mudar essa situacao e criar oportunidades na vida dessas criancas

Estamos mandando computadores e providenciando Wi-Fi para essa instituicao. Temos professores do mundo todo que irao entrar em contato com eles providenciando varios cursos profissionalizantes.

Long-Term Impact

Brazil is situated in the same time zone as the US and through YouTube, many Brazilians are learning English. The potential to own and work for calling centers within the same time zone is the beginning to be part of the greater global economy. O Brasil esta situado no mesmo fuso que os EUA, e atraves do YouTube, muitos Brasileiros estao aprendendo ingles. O potencial de trabalhar para call-centers para os EUA, e apenas o comeco para criar empregos em um pais com uma grande taxa de desemprego.
