Blanchisseuse
Government Primary School


In collaboration with the Blanchisseuse Rural Women Community Group

One of our foundation members, having began before the official launch of I*EARNTnT Interacting with ENO Project, IEARN Finland, they were motivated to initiate their own project with the networking of the women and subsequently the community, this proved to be quite interesting as the women (ages 33-65) were invited by I*EARNTnT Coordinator to participate by registering for a computer literacy course in conjunction with the Caribbean Network for Integrated Rural Development (CNIRD).

I*EARNTnT donated two computers, housed at the school, but used by the community after school with supervision. More computers were donated recently by BP Trinidad. Prompting this community to launch their second online project Math and Agriculture, and organic farming short crops research project.
