The Ambassador of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the Republic of Paraguay, Mr. Alexander Yui and the Vice Minister of Education and Culture of Paraguay, Ms. María del Carmen Giménez, have worked together on this project that will benefit Paraguayan youth. The valuable contribution of the ASUS Foundation enables more technology to be integrated into the educational process. The President of the Congress, Mr. Roberto Acevedo; the Mayor of Concepción, Mr. Alejandro Urbieta Cáceres; and the Mayor of Pedro Juan Caballero, Mr. José Carlos Acevedo were among the national dignitaries who attended the presentation ceremonies.
