UPDATE: Andy won one of the five final awards on November 10th, 2004, the "Microsoft Education Award." Here is an extract from a Press Release:
"Enlace Quiché was launched in 2000 by the Academy for Educational Development and USAID to demonstrate uses of information and communications technologies to strengthen the training of bilingual (Spanish-Mayan) teachers. Microsoft became an active supporter in 2002. The theme throughout has been helping Mayan communities and schools to cross hte digital divide without leaving their culture and language behind. Now functioning as an independent Guatemalan NGO, Enlace's legacy includes 28 school-based technology centers, 14 interactive Mayan-language CD-ROMs, a virtual community, and a training center. Through these efforts, a rapidly growing critical mass of empowered Mayans are harnessing computer and Internet as tools for development and for strengthening their identity."
