For the past week, Daniel Whitney and I have been working on the XO's, as they are called. Little green computers designed to withstand the harshest of conditions. Feel free to check out the website if you would like more info. Our current goal is to wipe them clean and install the latest operating systems. It is quite a chore. I have had to learn an enormous amount of technical info abou
t these particular systems and the way they work. Little surprises around every turn! After a few days of intense heat and several setbacks, we are almost prepared to teach a computer course. We are trying to combat helplessness with this course. The idea is to show the kids that they don't have to work out in the cane fields or pick coffee to earn a living. We are giving the kids a chance to see that they can develop a new set of skills. The only problem now is that we do not have any children or schools lined up. Such is life in Nicaragua!
