El Transito Has Internet

February 2008

Currently, the school has 3 computers. Two were donated by Jamileth Bonilla, and one by NICA. NICA is upgrading the electrical system in the computer lab so that 6 computers can be used at one time to effectively teach the children computer skills.

NICA will sell internet time to those who have a laptop computer. To install the internet connection, NICA worked with Nic@Net, S.A. to reduce costs and make the connection more affordable. Additionally, NICA will sell internet time to those vacationers, tourists and permanent residents of the town who have laptop computers.

Currently, NICA will not provide computers for internet access due to the security issue in the town. Once the community center is built, NICA will put a classroom of computers for internet access, computer classes, as well as out sourcing jobs.
