Hi. I’m going to be in Peru near Iquitos this summer installing RACHEL-PIs in a few schools and libraries along the river. Anyone else installing in Peru?

Hello! How are you?
I’m Andres, from Uruguay, currently living in Lima Peru. The Project seems very interesting to me, I am a computer specialist and I would like to implement Rachel in some community. You were in Iquitos this year? How was your experience?
Regards

Hi Andrés,
Nice to meet you. I was in Iquitos in July and August. I’m planning to return soon and applying for grants to install a RPi lab with RACHEL.
What is your plan for installing RACHEL?

Hi Dana,
I’d like to implement it in some communities in Peru in the future. Could you share some of your experience in Iquitos with the RPi lab?

Hello Dana,
Not sure if you will see this as it is 6 years since your post. I was just in rural Peru in October and visited a rural school. They have no access to the internet or computers which puts the children at a disadvantage when they move to town to get additional education. After arriving back in Canada I learned about the RACHEL system and realized this would be the solution to that school’s issue.
What can you tel me about your experience in Peru that would be helpful to me moving forward.
Thank you for your help.
Hi Arthur,
I’m still actively working with RACHELs in the Peruvian Amazon. We have 25 station solar lab in a school on stilts near Iquitos. We use Raspberry Pi’s and a RACHEL server.
Where were you in Peru?
