Rotary Club: E-Club of San Diego Global Project Title: Virtual Internship Training 1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place? This project took place in Santa Lucía Guatemala with senior high school business students. When COVID 19 hit all schools in Guatemala were shut down and almost all transportation and businesses. The Federal department of education requires senior high school business students to perform an internship which of course could not be done. We worked with the Department of Education to accept virtual businesses from the students. This grant supported them doing this work with originally phones and then laptops which we supplied. We supplied on line help to them through WhatsApp. An American teacher taught them English as a Second Language and they had weekly business related exercises from our EClub members who knew business. 2.
