All proceeds for this performance go to Engineers Without Borders, who are raising money to install computer labs and two internet towers in a school system eastern Honduras. They have gathered a team of ten Spanish-speaking educators to lead workshops at some point next year with Honduran teachers on how to best utilize this technology in the classrooms.

We are planning to return to Juticalpa in September or October 2010. During this trip we plan to integrate the new technology into their school curriculum through professional development workshops.
