ALA Needs Your Help...Please!!!

Nice MySpace page.
The photos Academia Latina Americana's My Photos Photo Album - MySpace Photos
and video English Level 1 Students Video by Academia Latina Americana - MySpace Video say a lot for what you're doing.

Best of luck recovering from your setback.

El Profe, I deleted your thread in Living seeing as this one has already generated some response.

I admire what you are doing. Good luck to you and your school, do not let this setback throw you off balance. When God closes a door, he always opens a window. Those kids (and adults) are lucky to have met you.:cheeky:

P.S. I sent you a PM

El Profe,
I have sent you a PM, I may be able to replace them computers.
Let me know if I can help.

Contents of the PM i sent to El-Profe and his reply:

Sorry to learn of your loss of the computers. I run a computer repair shop in the USA, ( i'm planning on moving to the DR soon) and i have approx 60 DELL desktop computers here. They are PENTIUM II 350- 450 mhz systems. They have everything needed for the systems to operate ( memory, hard drive, video, network card, etc. ) However I DO NOT have MONITORS for them. I am willing to let you have FIVE of them, if they'll be of help to you for gratis.

Maybe you can aquire monitors from another source.

Here's the sticky part, If you could find someone who would "sponsor" or donate the SHIPPING COSTS, (or maybe even someone shipping a load to the DR WITH SPACE AVAILABLE TO TAKE THE COMPUTERS WITH THEM),
I'd be more than happy to let you have them. I am Located in Shreveport, Louisiana, so some type of freight or pickup arrangments will have to be made to get them from me to them.

LIke i said These are DESKTOP ( flat, sits on top of desk, NOT a tower system) DELL Pentium II systems.

I can put whatever operating system you require on them also.


Let me know if i can help ( maybe even throw a plea out to the group for funds to cover shipping costs, or for someone shipping a container down to take them with them.)

Thanks
Kevin

Hello Kevin,

Thank you so much for your kindness. From past experiences, I think that it would cost more to ship the computers here and also pay the duties than what I can purchase them here for. But if you don’t mind, let’s try something. If you could copy the PM that you sent me and post it on the thread maybe we can find someone that has a container that is being shipped to the DR and they could add the CPU’s to the shipment. Just a thought.

I really appreciate your help and God bless you and your family.

Hey, El Profe, drop PICHARDO a PM. He's entrenched deep within the circles of the rich and powerful elite...gets inside scoop...and has access to 14,975 (MOL) FREE LAPTOPS just sitting in a warehouse (he'll send a picture of them...)

El Profe, people on this site were nice to you, allowed to ask for help, and actually helped. I think you should just let it go at this point, stop complaining, and take care of your school, children and related responsibilities. Money and equipment you received should be enough for you to track children's progress, and you can teach kids without any kind of computer programs involved. You can post some new pictures and videos on your site as an update for us. All the best to the kids!

El Profe -

When we last left you a couple of days ago, you were down to your last couple of hundred dollars, without next month's rent, and had come clean about the fact that you were not, in fact, a member of any organized church but just listened to Pastor Osteen on the Internet.

You said that you did not get along with any of the Christians in Jarabacoa. You also said that your only friends were your kids, That you were a loner' had no friends or family, and that one kid, who was 6 was really weeping over the loss of the computers.

You also put down the expenses for your living which were a lot like the expenses for your school which makes me think that you were perhaps running the school out of your home, were you?

I'll tell you, El Profe, I am not liking the picture that I am seeing here.

I would want some better references here.

I think that really you had better get back somewhere where you can get some psychological help.

I would alert the members on the Board in your area to be on their bikes and cruise on by.

I dunno. Maybe the Embassy gets involved before the local police do?

But I would not put kids into your care.

No way, jose.

Not at all, you cracked a joke on my public profile about 5 months ago. And it was funny not abusive. But he wouldn't know what it was all about because he wasn't around at the time. He just copy/pasted messages from the public profile which are there for all to see anyway...

I see confusion reigned here ....lol it does read like you sent an abusive message to chirimoya lol......if you didnt know what it was all about
