[Caryl Bigenho]

"Hi Educators...

"There are a lot of interesting things coming through from Peru and Uruguay.  Here's one from a school in Uruguay....

"Hello list, I want to share an experience that took place in my school, No. 35 of Durazno (Uruguay), at the instigation of Maestro (teacher) Scrio Francisco Sosa: an interesting photography contest with the laptops, whose theme was "Your Place, My Place.

"You can't imagine the huge success it was.  The children and their families were in places like the river Yi, others took photos of the neighborhood from the third floor of the school, it was spectacular!!! Some children selected a cat and a dog playing. Its title was, "Tolerance."   It was very difficult to select a winner and they drew winners with the help of a judge who was an expert in photography.

"The children were from grades 1 to 6.

"How do you like that?"

Yamandú Ploskonka, co-administrator of the  OLPC-Sur list has asked her to post the photos on the wiki.  I'll send a link along when it is available.

Here is the original Spanish text for those of you who are working on learning the language.  Remember, literal translations are not always true to the intent of the original.
