Managed the "Punto Vive Digital" in the community El Remanso. A community considered a "Red Zone" by the police and government. In this location we concentrated on working with the children. Since it is a location where Guerrillas recruit innocent children. The center provided technological access to the community, I taught English classes to minors, and obtained college professors to come in to provide various classes to adults. Developed monthly executive presentations and reports to facilitate project evaluation and process improvement. Assessed government products and maintained positive political relations.
