Build More Literate Communities in Rural Honduras

This story tells the happiness and satisfaction of a teacher, who, thanks to playful programming and through reading aloud, has seen a significant improvement in her students' ability to read and write.

Formal education is linear, boring, it evaluates based on statistics, it is not interactive... but the programming that is promoted through the Literacy Connections program promoted by the organization Un Mundo, tells us that the best way to learn is to play. It works from a participatory approach, where the child can make mistakes without being questioned, and above all to enter the cycle of learning, unlearning, learning...

As a teacher it is satisfactory to learn different teaching and learning techniques, and that manages to capture the interest and motivation of the child in the classroom. This program is changing the way you see education and educate.

I am convinced that the improvement in the quality of education, and the results in children, are fantastic, because we are using art as education, from an imaginative and creative perspective.

However, none of these successes would be possible without the contribution of the people who join this cause. Let's keep making dreams come true for those with less possibilities.

WALKING TOWARD SUCCESS

Testimony of a girl:

Despite being only 10 years old, I love reading. And it gives me so much satisfaction and happiness, that now I can express myself better, and have a better reading comprehension.

A few days ago, I competed in the First Regional Meeting of Children's Stories and obtained the first place in the category of adolescents, where children aged 10-14 from different educational centers participated. This award is the constancy and love for reading that I have cultivated for almost 3 years in the programming of the Library that drives the organization Un Mundo.

I am so happy to be a leader that helps other children to create the habit of reading, and especially to share my learning to others. This is just the beginning of many dreams that I make reality.

John Maxwell said: "Our candle is not extinguished by giving light to others"

I fell in love with this thought, which now I put at the service of others every learning acquired in the day to day of my reading or school hours.

I am sure that, if we continue to promote reading and education as a means of change, we will have achieved a significant change in the lives of others.

My dream, and that of many children would not be possible without the support of you who make your donations or contributions, for this reason I invite you to continue supporting this program initiative of the organization Un Mundo.
