We're very excited to let you know that Davis Projects for Peace has selected Tufts International Development’s Ecuador Koombook Program as one of sixteen outstanding projects from the summer of 2018! Each year their CEO recognizes 16 of the 100 winning projects, and we are incredibly honored to be included in that group. Their writer, Doug Wilhelm, will write a short article profiling our program.
Members of the Ecuador Team of Tufts International Development worked on the digital library project known as Koombook. Koombook is a device that allows its users to have access to hundreds of educational resources without the use of the internet, something that most rural communities don't have access to. To learn more about their experiences you can read the following blogs:
