Remodelación de la Oficina
Por Greta
Mendez
Estamos en el proceso de remodelación de la oficina.
Del 24 de mayo al 10 de junio estaremos remodelando la oficina. El 13 de junio inicia la migración que cambiara
nuestras computadoras de Mac a PC.
Los días 24 en horas de la tarde, 25, 26 y 27 se estará demoliendo algunas de las estructuras que se remodelarán.
Esto causará grandes inconvenientes en la disposición de algunos recursos en la oficina.
El personal de la oficina se verá afectado de la siguiente forma:
1- Del 24 al 27 Itza, Belinda, María Elena y María Josefa serán reubicadas temporalmente. (se estarán
eliminando algunas paredes del área).
2- Se estarán programando el entrenamiento de Windows y Outlook para la última semana de Mayo y
la primera y segunda de junio.
3- Todos los documentos deben estar listos para la migración el 13 de junio.
4- Desde el 27 mayo hasta el 10 de junio no existirá una cafetería en la oficina. La
refrigeradora será limpiada.
5- Del 31 de mayo al 10 de junio se estará reubicando temporal y permanentemente a parte del personal
de la oficina al igual que se estarán instalando los conductos de la red nueva.
6- El 1 de junio se reubicará la central telefónica (no tendremos líneas telefónicas ese día).
7- Se aprovechará esta reubicación para hacer un inventario físico por oficina.
Los voluntarios se verán afectados de la siguiente forma:
1- Del 24 al 27 no tendrán acceso a las computadoras y acceso limitado al área de voluntarios
(se estarán eliminando algunas paredes del area).
2- Del 27 al 31 el área de los voluntarios no tendrá algunas paredes. En consecuencia no
existirá privacidad ni seguridad (Se recomienda no dejar nada de valor en el área).
3- El 1 de junio se reubicarán las computadoras de los voluntarios al área nueva temporalmente
hasta el 10 de junio.
4- Desde el 27 mayo hasta el 10 de junio no existirá una cafeteria en la oficina la refrigeradora
será limpiada.
5- La vaina estará trabajando a partir del 3 de junio en la oficina en un área reservada para su
uso exclusivo.
6- El 1 de junio se reubicara la central telefónica (no tendremos líneas telefónicas
ese día).
7- La biblioteca no podrá ser utilizada desde el 27 de mayo al 10 de junio como lugar de reunión
y la computadora será reubicada.
8- Todos los archivos de las computadoras de los voluntarios serán eliminados el 10 de junio.
Se estará dando mayor información progresivamente.
New SITES!!
The following sites are for PCVs interested in seed storage
using appropriate technology silos, natural insecticides, and what to do
with sheep hair (not a big issue in Panama as there are more
"hairless sheep" here). Joe

Games for The Learning Adventure
Upon my departure from Panama I left a number of kid's
interactive games, mainly Disney, in the office with Edgardo. I used
these programs in a computer course that I offered in my site using some
of the loaner office computers. The programs are in Spanish. They’re lots of fun, and
really quite useful to help teach basic computing skills. My idea for
leaving them with Edgardo is as follows: if you would like to use them,
you can come to the city and have copies made to take to your site.
This way, in theory, if others buy software and leave it behind, too, we
might be able to amass quite a little library of software to use in our
work. It's an idea...

Janice,
I thought this 'poll' would be interesting for anyone to read who has thought of the pros/cons
of introducing technology & internet to campesinos.

B & B News
Lots of changes in the world of the B & Bs. We, the Vaina
Goddesses, are trying to update the list, (isn’t this a VAC sort of thing?) but ‘the
list’ seems to be in a box somewhere -sacrificed to the
‘remodelacion’ spirits.
So, following are names of people that are definitely leaving, so

don’t bother calling them anymore. If you know of any changes in the B & B scene,
write it in: either people that are leaving or people that are arriving or
people that are available but are neither leaving nor arriving…you
get the picture. We’ll
compile a new list for the lounge (what lounge?) as soon as there is a
list.
Thanks!

Please take my name off the B and B list. I'll be leaving Panama soon and my apartment will be a
disaster of packing coordination and unfit to host Peace Corps volunteers. I'll do my best to talk
the B&B program up here. I've had great fun as a PCV host. Thanks! V

Julieta and Nick Noyes, no longer available.
Lidia Richardson, available until the end of July.
Steve Moorhead, no longer available.
All in all, the list is pretty weak right now and Janice
has sent a new application to the Embassy for new arrivals to sign up if
they are so inclined.
We’ll let you know as soon as we know.
