English Classes in Patio
By Kathleen Brugger | President, US Board of Directors
Recently a woman who has just moved to San Juan del Sur from the United States, Christine Kennedy, came to the Fundación A. Jean Brugger office with an offer: she wanted to give intermediate English classes and was looking for a space.
The ability to speak English provides many job opportunities in Nicaragua, and there are not many options to study at an intermediate level in this area. Ms. Kennedy has been an English as a Second Language teacher for many years, and now that she has retired, wants to continue helping people as a volunteer.
The classes began in early October, 2023, are taking place in our patio. Some of our scholarship students and graduates are taking advantage of this opportunity. There is some shelter from the rain and sun provided by our awning, but it is a shame that we don’t have better conditions to offer this generous teacher.
This is a great example of why we want to build the auditorium: to provide a space not only for our student meetings, but as a community resource to provide educational opportunities to the community at large.

This Year We are Building
By Kathleen Brugger | President, US Board of Directors
Dear supporters,
After three years of dreaming, we are ready to build our Auditorium! We are excited because not only will it protect our scholarship students from the rain and the sun during student meetings and their community service projects, but we will be able to offer the space to the community for trainings and workshops. We have already been approached by a man from Canada who is a plumber and wants to provide training to young people to raise the level of professionalism in plumbing in the houses and offices in San Juan del Sur.
Our engineers, graduates of the FAJB scholarship program who participated in the construciton of the offices in 2020, are currently working on the design. Hopefully in the next report we'll be able to share the good news that the Auditiorium is under construction!
