Later in the day we went to a new install. This lab was known as "Old Sparky" We had many electrical problems here from exploding computer to power strips that caught fire and belched smoke. Needless to say it was an exciting lab. We finally got it finished with every spare computer we had available. |
| |
 |
|
Our WiMax mobile internet connection. ACT-Online was able to supply us with three of these mobile WiMax units to allow us to temporarily connect the labs to the internet to register and activate the machines. The government will be providing Internet service at the locations in one week. |

One of the labs we built was at a hospital in St. Johns. We built a small lab of five computers in the pediatric ward. We had special programs and games installed on the computers for little kids. |
| |
 |
|
Here Michael, Cordell, John and Chad were beginning the install. Chad may have been a bit tired that day. |

Here is the dictionary we were able to distribute to third graders on the island. It was a special English edition for kids. It had lots of pictures and really was targeted for students in grades 2-5. |
| |
 |
|
Here are some of the dictionaries sorted by school. |

This was the ceremony to hand the dictionaries over to the principals of the schools. |

The next day, Thursday, we had an appointment on one of the local radio stations to talk about all the work we were doing on the island. Cordell, John, Tori and I went down. Tori and I had never been on a radio station so it was fun. |

At this point all the computers had been moved and they just finished cutting wires to the proper length. They were starting to terminate the wires so they could plug the computers into the main switch. |
