I came across this interactive Guatemala created to educate kids in the UK about the countries where Sport Relief is supporting projects. They've created stories around four children in Guatemala who go to educational projects run by Conrado de la Cruz and Grupo Ceiba. One of stories is about Mayra Kelita, who some in GSN may recognise, as she was here in the UK two years ago with the director of Conrado de la Cruz on a visit organised by War on Want.
As for the educational value of this interactive Guatemala, barring one or two quibbles it's really well done and brings out many of the issues the children and their families face in Guatemala. Ok, the virtual tour still feel a touch light weight, lacking the more substantial information that books or video might be able to convey better. And I reckon you'd need a good teacher to really make the kids come alive- but hey let us know what you think...
It will be interesting to compare it with the interactive India and Glasgow that will be available soon.
