Build More Literate Communities in Rural Honduras

Reading, crossing borders...

Reading has no limits in our program, and we reach all those communities isolated from the road in order to promote the habit of reading, improving educational quality, analytical, constructive criticism and change.

Our story today tells the story of a 10-year-old boy, who fell in love with reading, and who today has become a reading promoter to tell the magic that this addiction has made in him.

His passion is so great, that he dedicates himself to the production of unpublished books with small narratives that captivate the attention of children, young people and adults. Their stories travel through all the communities of the Cangrejal River basin sector, and together with other friends they are able to awaken the curiosity and imagination of more children.

At his young age, he tells us the following:

"Before I was bored reading, but after entering the program that drives Un Mundo, I learned to read and write better, then I was passionate reading, and now I need to have a book in my hands. I have learned to lose the fear of speaking in public, of relating to others, of understanding things that were difficult before. Today I can say that reading makes magic "

As well as this history of change, there are many more, and that has been thanks to the friendly hand of many people like you, who have joined our dreams. Dreams that are now a reality.

For all these achievements, we invite you to continue supporting, and to invite new people, so that together we can transform the lives of many more people and achieve a significant and sustainable change in their lives.

CULTURAL LITERACY

To understand the present, it is necessary to know the past, and for this reason, our literacy program works to rescue the culture and tradition of its people.

The students of the schools personify our hero "the Indian Lempira" to promote respect and maintain the autochthonous roots.

Our literacy goes beyond teaching to read and write, we work in critical and constructive analysis, the understanding of cultural traditions and their importance in our environment and life.

The children wear a disguise imitating our cacique Lempira, and they teach adults about the importance of struggling to achieve their ideals, where leadership can bring about change in their communities. Personifying a hero, makes them appropriate that instinct for survival, but from a perspective of social projection to advance their people. The education received, formed in values allows for a leadership that is more aware of the reality of their communities to look for solutions in a constructive and sustainable manner.

 They will continue to wear a hero's cape to inspire other children, youth and adults, and to teach in a fun way the importance of education as an agent of change and transformation of lives.

Thank you very much for opening your heart and being part of our collaborators. You are part of our success, and we will continue that same path, changing lives in a meaningful way.
