Through our connection with Daryl, aka Daisy, the head of the Timor-Leste Rotary Club, we had the opportunity to help San Miguel, a local school, install the internet and open that gateway for the 2ooo kids who go to school there. Little did we know that we arrived 2 days before President Ramos-Horta was to arrive at the school for a ceremony christening a new wing and a newly installed internet!! Doug installed as I served as his lovely assistant and it was a study in frustration. We would instal, the school head redid, we would reinstall, the telecom guys uninstalled, we reinstalled, the kids would dismantle, we would reinstall, the power would go out... you get the picture. The worst part was that even though we finally installed everything, the entire internet went down during the Presidents visit.
