Talked to Cesar today, he's said in the past that he was selling his internet cafe, but i didn't think he was serious. Now he told me that its actually happening, and that if i wanted he would sell me all the computers for cheap. He wants to sell me 5 computers. I really only want 3. But he would also be throwing in all the chairs, desks, software, everything in with the price of the computers. Which is probably worth it. I told him that I wanted to have a lot of money left with which to buy books, because I wanted to be sure that I wasnt just setting up computers.
In that case, he told me he would talk to people at the private schools (he knows just about everyone important in Siguatepeque) and would ask if they had books for kids that they could donate. And if not that we could go to the capital and find the used book store and so get more books for our money. Im kind of trying to rope him into finding as many books as possible before I buy the computers from him.
In other news, still unsure about the teachers. I didn't quite understand what happened, but for some reason someone didnt want the teachers to sign "blank contracts" which was what the Promotor showed up with today. So they still haven't signed anything. But it still seems better than it was before. If not though, I think I'll just work through the community members rather than the teachers, and make sure that they run the place themselves.
