** Proyecto: 25 menores de 25 **

¿Conoce usted a alguien con edades entre 13 y 25 años que le apasione
usar Internet para hacer la diferencia? ¡En ISOC queremos escuchar
acerca de esa persona! Podrían recibir un viaje a Los Ángeles y tener la
oportunidad de conectarse y colaborar con otros(as) jóvenes líderes
alrededor del mundo. Estamos buscando emprendedores(as). Agentes de
cambio social. Personas que marquen la diferencia en su comunidad y
necesitamos de su ayuda para encontrarlas. Las nominaciones pueden ser
personales o a nombre de terceros. No dude por favor en escribirnos en
caso que requiera alguna información adicional; estamos deseosos que la
juventud costarricense sea parte de este proyecto.


Saludos!
