In Their Words
From several
participants in the Columbia Opportunity Center's first summer internship
program:

This is the first opportunity that ever came to my village. Having this opportunity, you need not go to town, which will cost you passage money, and you would have to pay so much for classes and I don't think they have as many computers as they have in the Columbia Opportunity Center. So that is why this is the greatest opportunity a student like me could ever have. - Henrietta Ical, 15

I am just writing this letter of appreciation to you for the donation of computers to my village and I want to thank you because I have learned how to type and now I am ready for high school because I already know how to type. Now when I finish high school I would like to find a job related with computers. - Marlin Ash, 13 |

I
live in a very large family and I have worked very hard for such
a long time. I have to do farming and I also have a great responsibility
for my family. I haven't finished primary school. But when I found
out about this great opportunity, I got very interested and came
over and asked how to use a computer. I went straight to and learned
about typing. I am looking forward to going to school. I will have
to work first and I will because I am very interested about going
to school, so maybe I will find a way how to go. - Matusaleme Choco,

I have completed primary school. In September, I will be going to study more at Toledo Technical High School. I would like to study more and would like to have an education in my future life. I really appreciate your kindness for bringing computers in my village. I have learned many things about them. Really, I don't know how hard you have struggled to get these computers, but we the people of the village really enjoy them and of course, I would like to learn more. So once more, I would like to say THANK YOU for educating the children of San Pedro Columbia in computer technology and also the storybooks you have donated. May God bless you more. - Leo Coh, 17 |
