Projects for the ‘2007’ Year

Donation of Computer Equipment 2007

Sunday, April 15th, 2007

At the Calvin Ayre Foundation we know that technical innovation poses a unique and wonderful challenge for children, encouraging them to seek knowledge in a fun way.

This kind of innovation also contributes largely to developing better quality education. This is why the Foundation donated a fully equipped computer room to the Rafael Ángel Calderón School.

Here, the children can get acquainted with new technologies and begin to integrate relevant computer skills into their daily tasks.

It was thrilling to see the excited faces of the children when they received the computers, having never had access to that kind of equipment before.

The importance of sports and their role in the lives of children has never been greater. According to the American Council on Exercise, “physically active children have a stronger self-image and more self-confidence.”

Issues that accompany low self esteem problems such as drugs or violence are not as pronounced in children that are physically active and/or involved in sports and team activities.

Sports enhance a child’s self esteem, which is crucial to their development. Recently the Foundation decided to make a donation of sports uniforms, balls and gloves, and fully funded the building of a basketball court.

In 2007, the Calvin Ayre Foundation celebrated Children’s Day for the third year in a row.

This time the celebration was held in the new and refurbished Rafael Ángel Calderón School.

For this occasion, the Foundation decided to focus on the importance of enjoying the childhood years, and on reminding children of their rights and responsibilities.

During the event, the children enjoyed lunch and snacks, played games and different activities in the open air, and enjoyed a carefree and exciting day.
