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. The
spanish teachers are well-educated peasant-farmers from the community.
We are a group of young people struggling for change.
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. |
