Fulfilling promises gives us credibility. The goal of turning schools into model schools still stands. It is a dream in the minds of mayors, teachers, students, and parents and, of course, on our NGO agendas. We know that these goals will have more impact if we work together.
Equipping all classrooms with television and providing a computer to all teachers who wish to use Kolibri at the Santo Tomas de Aquino Institute in Camasca is a promise kept. This project, which will benefit more than 300 students from all the communities of Camasca and neighboring municipalities, is a testament to our collective efforts and a source of pride for all involved

On November 23, 2024, during the graduation ceremonies, the mayor of Camasca, Ignacio Bautista, donated 7 smart televisions to Santo Tomas de Aquino High school. In his speech, he mentioned his commitment to continue investing in the education of the municipality of Camasca. Likewise, Shoulder to shoulder donated seven computers and 7 routers. These are undoubtedly tools that will facilitate and strengthen the teaching-learning process between teachers and students.

Parent involvement
For digital education to be strengthened, teachers and students must have access to all the necessary resources. One of these resources is access to a stable electricity system. Recognizing this need, parents took the initiative to improve the electrical system in all classrooms, ensuring the devices' longevity and the continuity of the educational process. Their contribution is invaluable and integral to this progress.
This is an example that in unity, there is strength. When we work together, the impact is broader. We are deeply grateful to all our donors for their generous contributions, which have been instrumental in achieving our educational goals.
