The students in Tijuana who are able to receive English instruction both remotely and occasionally in person by Rotarians and other volunteers from San Diego. These students have historically been 7th grade dropouts, but owing to the impact of the lab, are able to complete high school and frequently go onto University

4. How many Rotarians participated in the project? Approxoimately 20 from both the San Diego and Tijuana Clubs.

Provide teaching and support to the students in the lab by coordinating teaching across the border.

The cooperating organizations were the Rotary Club of La Jolla and Club Rotario de Tijuana.

Please note that the Rotary Club of La Jolla paid the additional $84.44 to complete the project.

The computers are installed and in use and we are able to seamlessly Skype with the students from San Diego and hear their responses as they pass the microphone around.
