Capacitación en Alfapamba

La comunidad se llama Alfapamba...y esta a unos 40 minutos de Chunchi, pero hacia arriba, unos 500 metros mas alto que Chunchi, esto es a unos 2800 metros. El paisaje es increible, a pesar de que estaba lloviendo y habia bastante neblina. Y, la gente muy amable...al ver que ibamos medio perdidos :-D

Llegamos a Alfapamba, y nos estaban esperando gente de otras comunidades, la mayoria chicos del colegio, y algunos maestros. Eduardo, mi responsable y con Oswaldo el de educacion...ellos se pusieron a instalar la compu y yo a dar la clase...que clase tan satisfactoria, habia participación, dudas...ganas de que les explique.

La clase no fue muy larga, apenas una hora fue introductoria. Algunos conceptos sobre los ordenadores y un poco sobre internet y correo electrónico.

Antes de terminar la clase hubo una recomendación de no faltar, de participar y de decir cualquier inquietud que tuvieran.

Terminó la clase, creedme, lo bien que me sentí no tiene explicación, fue alucinante, no me había sentido tan bien recibida y que me agradecieran de corazón.

Finalmente, antes de irnos, nos invitaron a tomar un café...que resultó ser un café con pan y un plato de arroz con papas fritas y ensalada de cebolla con tomate...ya no hizo falta cenar.

Home buying process, the real deal

One day you wake up and think "I'm gonna buy a house" And keep reasoning "it is time to use all the time and effort and savings in something more durable, a real investment".

Workshop - you'll need this in the future, make sure is HUD approved. It is a workshop that explains what you're about to start. I recommend this. It took me a few months, because I dedicated 8 minutes some days....I think it's intended to take you 8 hours. eHome America was the provider I chose, and I got a voucher for the free workshop from a non-profit that provides resources for new buyers. Counseling - After you complete the workshop, bring your certificate of completion and meet with a counselor. I chose to go to the same agency that gave me the voucher, because they already knew...

Ya viene el niñito jugando entre flores...

Si eres ecuatoriano, seguro te disfrazaste de cholita/o o pastorcito o angelito o Virgen María o San José y escuchaste esta canción en los pases del niño, y recibías la bolsita de galletas burrito y caramelos...tradiciones hermosas.  

Technology and where are we going?

During this RSA presentation (starts on 11:00), lecturers make an analysis on where technology is transforming our society.  Some remarkable affirmations: "We decided to put all our information into a big grey box, and hope nobody is looking in." "Every single human being here has access to the internet" "Technology improves individual capacity more than social" "Teach people not answers, but how to ask questions" "We can't leave people off the hook" "Data, information and knowledge are different levels. We should slow down to learn/teach how to make questions" Despite all this progress we still have a lot of things to do, such as, improving security.  And also to reshape our mentality and our culture of sharing. We also should include and consider each and every individual to get the benefits of technology. As they mention during the QA, there has to be areas where designers and users can com...
