Currently, with school closed because of the pandemic, children in rural Romania are at more risk than ever of being marginlized by the shift to online schooling.

So many of the basic assumptions underlying a successful online program, such as not only access to devices, but even more fundamentally, internet access or satelite coverage and basic familiarity with using online platforms, cannot be taken for granted in disadvantaged rural communities.

AMURTEL's Fountain of Hope is therefore offering support for the children that would otherwise be left behind during this period. The children are receiving both breakfast and lunch at the center, and our staff not only gives them access to devices so they can follow the online lessons, but also the support to complete the assignments, as many are still learning very basic skills like reading and writing.

Unfortunately, the staff have only had their own personal telephones to use in this process, which makes it much more difficult, as the screens are small and the speakers aren't very loud, for working with a group of 5-6 children. We have the same situation also at our nearby children's home "AMURTEL Family". Not having proper equipment makes a very difficult situation even more difficult.

In the summer, we had received a donation of second hand computers for the AMURTEL Family that we were able to get serviced and functioning with educational games and some internet. However, they are not able to support streaming applications and the platform needed for school.


Your investment in laptops, speakers, school supplies and food for breakfast, will make sure that these children will not remain left behind in their studies!

Thank you!


Didi


ÎN LIMBĂ ROMÂNĂ:


În prezent, cu școala închisă din cauza pandemiei, copiii din zona rurală a României prezintă un risc mai mare ca oricând de a fi marginalizați odată cu trecerea la școlarizarea online.

Multe dintre ipotezele de bază care stau la baza unui program online de succes, cum ar fi nu numai accesul la dispozitive, ci în mod fundamental accesul la electricitate, acces la internet sau acoperire prin satelit și cunostintele de bază pentru utilizarea platformelor online, acestea nu sunt lucruri pe care le putem asuma despre comunitățile rurale la risc de marginalizare.

Centrul de Zi Izvorul Sperantei oferă sprijin esențial pentru copiii care altfel ar fi rămas în urmă în această perioadă. Copiii primesc atât micul dejun, cât și masa de prânz la centru, iar personalul nostru nu doar că le oferă acces la dispozitive, astfel încât să poată urma lecțiile online, ci și asistența pentru realizarea temelor pentru acasă, deoarece mulți încă învață abilități de bază, cum ar fi cititul și scrisul.

Din păcate, personalul foloseste telefoanele personale în acest proces, ceea ce face învățarea online și mai dificilă, deoarece ecranele sunt mici și difuzoarele nu sunt foarte puternice, pentru grupul de 5-6 copii care se strâng în jurul unui singur telefon. Avem aceeași situație și în apropiere de centru, la Centrul Rezidențial „Familia AMURTEL”. Lipsa echipamentului de bază face acest proces mai dificil decât ar trebui să fie.

În vară, am primit o donație de computere second-hand pentru Familia AMURTEL pe care am reușit să le reparăm și să le facem să funcționeze pentru jocuri educaționale și ceva internet. Cu toate acestea, acele calculatoare nu sunt capabile să accepte aplicații de streaming și platforma dedicată școlii online.

Donația ta va face posibil ca acești copii să țină pasul cu educația online.

Vă mulțumim!
