Hydrowest supports Hurricane stan relief efforts

As part of HydroWest’s ongoing commitment to working beneficially with communities, the company teamed up with two public schools in the Zacapa region of Guatemala to create computer labs for rural school children.  Located near the Pasabien hydroelectric project about three hours outside of Guatemala City, the labs were constructed in the communities of Santa Cruz and Monte Grande.

For students in these Zacapa schools, the computer labs, air-conditioned buildings, computer equipment, furniture, and instructors, bring the world to their doorstep.
