With Microsoft’s Airband Initiative, which aims to close the digital divide and bring high-speed internet connectivity to communities around the world, connectivity has arrived in this remote region of Colombia and opened a new world for hundreds of children and young people. “My children tell me they have learned so much from the internet, and that is so important,” said Wilmar Hernández, who shares the courtyard of his house with the San José de Almagra school. He makes a living growing tobacco, and today his children teach him how to handle a cell phone. “Now one’s children have all the possibilities,” he said.
