Higher Education

Not only does Miguel Hernandez teach Uspanteco children how to read first in Uspanteco and then in Spanish, but now in Ja Re Kawinak [House of our People] he is teaching adults so that they can receive their diplomas for primary school (First thru Sixth) education.

Before Miguel started working in the Uspanteco Center as a literacy teacher and first draft translator, he was a teacher for CONALFA, an adult education program of the Guatemalan government designed to give adults an opportunity to learn to read and write and/or complete their grade school education.

Yesterday, as we saw the Uspanteco Center being used for yet another purpose, we had joy in our hearts

that our co-workers, as well as other adults in Las Pacayas, have this chance to complete their

grade school education. From l to r below, Cristobal Us Carrillo, [Center manager], Julio Carrillo [translation

reviser] and Venancio Chitop ['Faith Comes by Hearing' promoter] are working for their primary

school diplomas.

Each student pays $2.00 per month to Miguel for 6 hours
of instruction 3 evenings a week.
