In the past eleven years it has created 951 computer education schools in low income neighborhoods in Brazil and eight other countries. The schools, which charge students $5 to $10 a month, aim to enfranchise those who would be otherwise unable to have access to computers. Students who cannot afford tuition can still attend classes but are encouraged to help out around the centers.<br class="clear" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2972">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2972#comment Telecommunications and IT Activity Active Brazil Consumer Government Funded Non-profit Activity Latin America Wed, 05 Jul 2006 16:01:13 -0400 Ethan Arpi 2972 at http://www.nextbillion.net
