A school with a difference

| |
The campesino Spanish school Hijos del Maiz
is located in El Lagartillo, a rural community in the northeast of
Nicaragua. Hijos del Maiz is a project by the community for the
community with over six years of experience in language instruction. We
are a group of young people struggling for change and our spanish
teachers are both agriculturalists and university graduates from the
community.
Students will receive 4 hours of one-to-one classes each day with
trained teachers. The student may decide each day where to hold the
class, in a classroom or in a field under a tree.
In Hijos del Maiz the student learns Spanish and also learns about our
lives as campesinos by sharing with us. The student is also invited to
share his/her own knowledge whether it is practical, artistic,
intellectual or spiritual. There are opportunities for students to work
as volunteers on community projects
in El Lagartillo or in neighbouring communities. |
