Description

We work to ensure children from a disadvantaged background in Colombia have the opportunity to acquire literacy skills to reach their full potential, succeed at school and beyond.

OUR SERVICES

* Literacy Tutoring

We offer a space for literacy tutoring that children can attend once a week. We read together, practice writing exercises, play fun games, and share a meal.

* Literacy Resources Distribution

We distribute new and second-hand books, school supplies, and other literacy resources within the community.

* Teaching English

Aprende Leyendo runs English lessons during school holidays to encourage children to learn English as a second language. We welcome international volunteers who are native English speakers and are looking for a cultural experience abroad.

* Dingo App

It is a digital learning tool that aims to develop and enhance the literacy skills of children in both Spanish and English. We bring together innovative technology, e-books, games, and locally-curated content to advance the learning of children with limited access to education and technology.
