Project Overview

AHA Bolivia S.R.L. is a Fair Trade production company in Bolivia. We
work with over 300 artisans in various locations in the city of
Cochabamba.

We have started a pilot program using the Khan Academy to try to help
the children of these artisans with their difficulties in Mathematics. We
are trying to engender the spirit of the Khan Academy by having the
children use the academy's resources at their own pace. We  have also
collected a group of eager young people between the ages of 17-23 with
a strong math backgrounds to be the tutors and supervisors of the
children. The tutors are also bilingual so that they can help the
children understand all of the resources' interface.

Bolivia is a Spanish speaking country in the middle of South America.
For this reason we are trying to use the translated videos and
subtitles for the videos in Spanish. Our bilingual teaching staff is
also available to help the children with any issues they may
encounter. This program will be run for a period of 3 weeks starting
June 24th. These three weeks roughly coincide with the winter break
the kids have from their respective schools. Attendance for the
program is voluntary but we hope to have a large turn out. We have 100
children divided into 5 groups of 20. The groups meet on different days
and times:

Group 1 Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays 10:00AM-12:00PM
Group 2 Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays 3:00PM-5:PM
Group 3 Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30PM-12:00PM
Group 4  Tuesdays and Thursdays 2:30PM-5:00PM
Group 5 Saturdays 9:00PM-12:00PM

With this program we are hoping to provide the children with the
equipment and the enviroment that will help them to feel comfortable
and excited to learn and explore the Khan Academy. Our goal is to show
them the Khan Academy so they feel motivated to use it even after the
pilot as a learning tool for their academic lives.
