In November of 2019, we realized our year one goal. An all volunteer Alberta based team of six travelled to Dominica. Working for two weeks with the IT team from the Ministry of Education on the island, switches and wireless access points were installed in a number of schools and at the Dominica Association of Teachers providing each site with building wide wireless access. As well, each school received class sets of Chromebooks in weather safe cases and digital projectors. When all the phase one installations are complete, more than 30 schools will have the learning technologies needed to provide teachers and students with the kind of educational opportunities they deserve. The new value of the equipment provided was in excess of $1.5 million CAD.
We realized our goal with the support of many generous donors, volunteers and contributors. We were grateful to have received a Rotary International Global Grant and to have worked with the Rotary Clubs of Lethbridge East, Portsmouth Dominica and Bracebridge, Ontario. |
