Empowering the Next Generation: Our Family Mission Trip to Colombia (Dec 2023 – Jan 2024)
In December 2023, my family and I embarked on a meaningful trip to Colombia, a journey that blended our love for travel with our shared passion for education and technology empowerment.
During our stay, we partnered with local schools and youth programs to donate several computers, a small step toward bridging the digital divide that continues to limit opportunities for so many young people in developing regions.
Beyond the donation, we spent time training students and youth in computer basics, teaching them how to type, use productivity tools, browse the internet safely, and understand how technology can open doors to creativity and entrepreneurship.
What made this trip special wasn’t just the technology itself, but the spark of excitement we saw in the eyes of young learners discovering what’s possible with a computer for the very first time.
Our hope is that this small act of service plants seeds of innovation and confidence that will grow long after our visit. As a family, we came back home deeply moved and even more committed to the mission of Kids Teck Inc., to ensure that no child is left behind in the digital age.
