volunteer Maik writes on 5. July from its literacy group in Coban:
"I work now, just six months with the children of my literacy group thought one does not notice the progress from one day to the other, but when I look back. have the children with whom we started from scratch, learned a lot. You can now read and understand simple texts and to express themselves in words and mathematics, they can multiply in addition and subtraction Sumy already to some extent. However, I fall on other values, they have adopted in time. How difficult it was in the beginning to motivate them to work at all and that they listened to me and Phil and followed our instructions, worked out very badly. In this regard, much has changed. A beautiful experience I made today, as I come from a history book to enter the teaching, the fable of the Three Little Pigs "read. The children were not their seats, but sat around me and listened to me attentively. Replying to questions between them and told me how it would probably go further. In the end they told me even morality. When she then read aloud themselves, they bored each other, but they understood what they read. I was then a trivial matter awareness. These children were the parents never read anything. Not a single story to sleep. Why? 60% illiteracy in Alta Verapaz and the rate among the indigenous population, probably a lot higher! I recently visited the family of the small Juan-Carlos. The family has had to endure heavy blows, but the cheerful boy brings little Hope returned. The mother is motivated to read and write to learn a better job finding and Juan-Carlos is willing to teach her son anything. Maybe we can bring the other children to their siblings also read something. Education is the only way out of poverty! "
