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.
