SimplyHelp started supporting a High School in Nicaragua in 2006.
When SimplyHelp started to support this school, most students and some teachers had never touched a computer in their lives.
Now, teachers have learned how to use a computer and the internet and use these new skills to improve their classes.
Students learned and developed fast; they are participating in competitions on ‘Best Website Design’!
Because of SimplyHelp’s support for the tailoring and carpenter classes, students who did not have to means to pay for education before, are now able to learn a vocational skill well and are able to find a steady job within weeks upon graduation.
Personal Story
Martha Ernestina Mercado Cerda is 18 yrs. old and studied at Guillermo Ampie Lanzas High School in La Conception. Her father is a teacher and her mother is a secretary. They do not have the resources to send Martha to university.
When Martha finished her secondary education she decided to go to Nursing School because she likes to help the people.
Martha: “I studied in the high school from 2005 to 2009 and honestly I am very thankful for my teachers and for SimplyHelp’s support for the school. When I got to the school I did not know anything about how to use the computer, however now I can use it, I want to tell to SimplyHelp “thank you very much” because nowadays I can do my homework and research using the technology I learned to use at school. And I am sure that I am going to be a successful girl because I can use the technology.”
