Partnership with Santa Maria, Bogotá, Colombia
Fundacion Santa Maria
(FSM) is a non-profit organization in Bogotá.
After a first phase (started in 2003) of setting up the computer lab, and
training the trainers, the partnership between TINFA and FSM has evolved to
reaching out, and doing creative projects.
Here are many of the
projects that Santa Maria is conducting in partnership with Coe Elementary in
Seattle (Kevin Crozier's class)
Partnership with Ana Restrepo del Corral, Bogotá, Colombia
TINFA is partenering with Fundacion Ana Restrepo del Corral , a local non-profit
providing primary and secondary education to low income kids. TINFA
has provided funding for a new computer lab and teacher training.
Partnership with FUNDAP, Xetuj, Guatemala
In 2005 TINFA partnered with FUNDAP,
a local non-profit, to fund a computer room for a Community School in
Guatemala's western region of Xetuj. The school serves 151 students (75 boys and 76 girls).
In October 2010 TINFA signed a new agreement with FUNDAP to expand the Community School model
to two other villages.
Becoming a TINFA partner
Currently, TINFA is planning on expanding its relationships with schools in
Bogotá, Colombia. This will create a geographical hub, in which we can provide
local support and training. Once we finetune this model, we will consider
opening a new Hub in a different region.
Here are the criteria we use,
when discussing with prospect schools.
