INTERNET COMES TO THE ISLA CABALO SCHOOL
In the untamed splendor of Costa Rica's isolated Isla Caballo—a pristine island enclave untouched by modern utilities like running water or electricity—the Imcon Internet Foundation sparked a monumental digital awakening. Collaborating with Viva Idea, the MarViva Foundation, and the Zamora Terán Foundation, we unveiled the revolutionary Internet Backpack at the island's lone school, granting students and teachers unprecedented high-speed internet access for the very first time.
This transformative pilot initiative unlocked a vast universe of global knowledge, immersive online education, and vital resources for eager young minds and dedicated educators, shattering the chains of isolation, narrowing the global digital chasm, and igniting pathways to enduring prosperity in one of Earth's most enigmatic frontiers.
