Former Intern Wins Film Competition

Angel Munoz, The SDFF Intern of the Year, is a member of a Hoover High School team that won the grand pize in the My City Now Future Filmmaker National Contest. Entitled "The Painting of a Culture", their video represents Chicano Park in San Diego and it's amazing murals plus the rise of a hardworking culture. Angel and his team did part of their film editing at the SDFF Tech Center using a digital video editing workstation donated by Dell Computer.

Congratulations to Angel and his team members.

Our Outdoor Wireless Network

With a generous donation of equipment from Avaya and bandwidth from Cox, we were able to build a wireless network in City Heights. The network serves three sites, two of which are low income housing projects.

You can view a map of the area covered south of our offices here. Price Charities was also generous enough to donate roof space on the highest building in City Heights (pictured above) for our antenna placement. The network has access to our content filtering device so the connected computer labs are protected from questionable browsing habits.

With the exception of a few windy days and maintenance, the network has been going strong for nearly two years and we plan on keeping it running for the foreseeable future.
