David Espinosa and Payce Madden (Rwanda, Agohozo Shalom Youth Village, ASYV)
David and Payce spent the summer in Rwanda working with the Agohozo Shalom Youth Village (orphanage/high school outside of the city of Kigali). Despite some of the challenges they faced, such as working with people with varying work styles, schedules and priorities, with only 10 weeks to complete this; they had a great turnout customizing an e-learning platform to meet the school’s needs and training the teachers and administrators to proficiently use it. With this curriculum digitization, the goals were to help “improve student access to course materials, free up class time that’s currently used for taking notes for more interactive activities, and help teachers track student progress more closely.”
