Peru Distributes Laptops in Villages With No Electricity
|
Peruvian authorities handed out 2,656 laptop computers to children in 73 villages without taking into account that 50 of them lack electricity, El Comercio newspaper has said. "It's true that the majority of those villages don't have (electric) light," the president of the Junin regional government, Vladimiro Huaroc, said in a statement appearing on the daily's website. The distribution of the computers was a joint project of the Junin administration and Peru's education ministry. Acknowledging the oversight, Huaroc promised to invest $200,000 in the purchase of 100 solar panels to provide power in the 50 Ashaninka communities that are not connected to the electric grid. He also said that his government is acquiring "more laptops for all the primary school pupils in the poorest areas of the Andes and central jungle". |
