Perhaps the most unique program
in the Sonrisas framework is Compu-Com
Sonrisas, initially sponsored by Presbyterian World Service
and Development of Canada (PWS&D). Understanding that computer
technology is the way of the future, this project empowers marginalized
Dominican youth with the knowledge and ability to use modern computers
with modern software.
The unique aspect is that the beneficiaries get hands-on practice
with various software programs as they put together numerous educational
materials like brochures on oral health. The project was an unequivocal
success and Sonrisas has decided to conduct the project in a new
marginalized community of the capital starting in March 2005
