Sustainability
Once the Project for the Integration of Ipads is established at Picaflor house, Chaska Tours wants to roll-out simular projects at other non profit organisations in Cusco and the Sacred Valley. Chaska Tours has three other organisations
listed to be integrated in 2015.
The Experience built at Picaflor house will serve to even better integrate the Ipads at other locations.
Picaflor house plans in coordination with Chaska Tours, to continue its operation indefinitely through donations from Chaska Tours and Picaflor House. In order to ensure the security of the Tablet Devices we plan to purchase hard covers
for each of them to prevent breakage as well as install additional security on the storage room to avoid potential theft.
We also plan to continue collaborating with Chaska Tours to ensure the sustainability of this project and its success.
Thanks to Globalteer Development Managers Eliza Wethey and Annie Irving for their valuable input.
