Title: Enlace Quiché: Metamorphosis from dot-EDU Project to Guatemalan NGO
Issue: January 2005, Issue 9
DOT: dot-EDU
Summary: If USAID, the Ministry of Education, and everyone else is so happy with the Enlace Quiché project, why is it ending so soon?
That was the topic of discussion in mid-2003 among local staff and key stakeholders who had watched the project grow over three years into a respected local player in educational development, pushing the envelope of educational technology as a cross- cutting tool for improving educational quality in Guatemala. Moreover, they asked what could be done to build on and scale up the pilot experiences. The answer was to create a local NGO . This article presents an overview of the transition, highlighting critical decisions and windows of opportunity.

Title: Changing Lives and Education in Guatemala with Internet Connectivity
Issue: Fall 2003, Issue 5
DOT: dot-EDU
Summary: Now as the second phase of the Enlace Quiché project has begun under dot-EDU, including the opening of an additional seven centers, connectivity prices have fallen within sustainable reach of all centers, with Satellite connections for as little as $150/month, which can be covered by each center through user fees. This vast price drop as well as the increasing interest on the part of the project partners, participating schools, and community members in using the Internet, compelled the project to make connectivity a key aspect of all their efforts.
