The computers that will be delivered this year, whose market cost exceeds two million pesos, in this case were purchased for just over one and a half million and had an investment of more than $80,000 million.
These computers are loaned so that young people can do their academic work. After the school year is over, students return it for maintenance and updating. However, they are returned the following year once they are enrolled.
Esneider Muñoz Carvajal, a student at the Antonio Derka – Santo Domingo institution, was one of the beneficiaries and already has his computer: “I am very happy to receive this computer because I know it will help me acquire knowledge and fulfill my dreams step by step. I study the technical average of Software Development, I am going to take advantage of this tool to learn”.
