Description

Our initiative; Aprende Leyendo, strive 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

We offer a safe space where children assist once a week for literacy tutoring. 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

During school holidays, we welcome international volunteers to teach English to children to foster the learning of English a second language which is essential in a globalized world.
