We are flying today...

When I talked to the teacher on MSN he told me, "We were traveling by turtle, and we did not know... we are flying today". We have struggled with the connection to Internet since the day we started the project. We have had access to the Internet via modem, which was not enough to keep regular communication with the teacher and the children. The teacher was able to access his email and we chat on msn, but we were never able to have voice or video conversations. In December, the school had an ISDN line installed, but we had to deal with several issues before they could really use the line.

The school finally has its ISDN line working at a reasonable speed (128 Kbps). I have been able to communicate with the teacher and the children today. It is great to see their faces and be able to talk to them. They wanted to know when I am visiting again.

We are all very happy with this new Internet connection. They're happy being able to connect to the Internet and to access information, and to talk to me when I am not there. I am happy because I can have not regular communication with the teacher to know what he is doing and to be able to support his work as he becomes fluent with the technology. For now on, we will be flying!
