Our program in El Salado - Colombia
"Emerson, for example, is on Saturdays from 3:00 to 18:00 at the village of Villa Amalia. In a counter and a few tables on a ranch with a tin roof, he takes its games and educational tools out. There are nine adults and six children, they are mostly grandchildren and grandparents, learning together. At first I had to fight the prejudice of the elderly, "old dogs can not learn", and the shame that for many meant not knowing how to read and write or take a pencil. But all that abcdespañol is changing and is one of the programs most loved by the people."
