The Orphaned Starfish Foundation provided Instituto Parroquial Santa María Madre del Pueblo with their computer center. The goal is to improve the quality of education and also prepare these youngsters for jobs. During the time they've used the computer center these children have just been ecstatically working on the computers. Not only have they've grown socially but technologically as well. The chidlren have learned about the many aspects of using computers, such as learning how to type using Microsoft word, excel, PowerPoint, and learning about other cultures and learning how to navigate through the Internet as well.
The children have found their way on to social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram where they have a chance to interact with other children around the world. They have also found use in sites such as YouTube, where they can watch tutorial videos from Khan Academy and learn how to code, solve math problems, and learn about new scientific problems. The children are now expanding their horizons and looking beyond their environments into the world beyond.
The children are now equipped with technology equipment which is now considered to be a necessity in the world. The computers and courses prepare the students for their future and professional careers. As a result of this the children will have the opportunity to succeed and continue to pursue their dreams.
