The new address of Technica, the technical assistance to Nicaragua project
TechNICA
1227 4th Street
Santa Monica, CA 90401
1-213-394-1183
Anyone with enough computer background to access the net probably
can be of use. Projects range from teaching classes in programming languages,
databases, Lotus1-2-3, basic use of microcomputers, installing software,
seminars on repairs, etc. Folks with specialized skills in Mechanics,
Machining, Boiler repair, etc are also needed.
It is a fine way to show the Nicaraguans a more humane face of
America, and to contribute to the re-building rather than the destruction
of Nicaragua. It's legal, fun, and extremely useful and appreciated.
It is also a wonderful way to tell Reagan what you think of his shameful
aggression against the Nicaraguan people.
Micros not Mines!
On to Managua!

Two things about TechNica: 1. I'd be interested in reading accounts from people who've gone to Nicaragua under TechNica of, more or less, what their projects involved. 2. Any ideas about the sort of minimal competence in Spanish required to make the going productive?

Morrow Long Perhaps, if Nicaragua's industries were running on Crays. But what they're really limping along on is old TRS-80s and CBMs. They do need help, and they are getting *A LOT* of help from western Europe. In fact, the rest of the world looks upon our aid to the contras with something between disbelief and outrage. Alas, the Senile One would have us believe that anyone who trades with the USSR is a Marxist-Leninist. If so, then he's one too! -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 20 Jun 85 [2 Messidor An CXCIII] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7753 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!iwsl8!ken *** ***
