By training more people in our region, we are not only providing essential tools for the present but also building a more inclusive and prosperous future.\u201d\u00a0 Linda Eddleman, CEO of The Trust for the Americas, said: \u201cThese centers are a shining example of public-private collaboration, demonstrating how access to technology can transform lives.
