As we continue to make strides to incorporate intuitive and practical technological solutions such as electronic tablets into Aula Mágica classrooms, the buzz around our program has only grown louder. Most recently we were asked to be the subject of an in-depth article to be hosted on global technology solutions leader, CISCO’s Newsroom page thanks to a CISCO writer with previous ties to Guatemala catching a glimpse of our previous feature in the local REVUE Magazine. Our publicity up to date has occurred almost entirely organically thanks to the word of mouth recommendations by our fantastic supporters and other moments of divine intervention like these.

We hope to fully equip all of our existing rural classrooms with a tablet, portable Bluetooth speaker and solar charging apparatus in time for the start of the 2016 school year. In addition, we are also currently developing an accompanying mobile application to help enhance our existing curriculum and engage our students in new and creative ways. These technological solutions will help us save time and money as we expand while also allowing us to more effectively measure and record the amount of progress being achieved in Magic Classrooms everywhere. With that said, we need the help and support of creative tech-minded leaders like CISCO and individuals like you to help support us as we continue to expand into this new frontier.
Please share, share, share our work with your friends and family and also consider making a donation today. Your donation would help bring us closer to achieving our goal of fully-equipping all rural Magic Classrooms with cunning edge solutionsin time for the fast-approaching 2016 school year. We are on the precipice of something very exciting with a chance to truly change the foundation of rural education in Guatemala and beyond. How cool would it be to be a part of that?
