Children who attend the Chacocente Christian School go to class for 6 1/2 hours per day.
Our first-grade curriculum requires that our students begin to read.
Here, Topher Hunt (VT-USA) helps Juan to use Google Earth to find Chacocente.
Our children learn to read for meaning -- and pleasure -- from the earliest grades. [The illiteracy rate in Nicaragua is about 43%.]
Volunteers Brittany Polis of TN teaches the children a song in English sign language!
