Let your hands think...
In the Literacy program we focus on developing leadership through reading and playful activities.
We have developed a methodology using Legos, which is based on a playful conception that encourages imagination and exploration. It is framed in the social, cognitive and emotional dimensions. Specifically, it is about the construction of mental models, which allow the children to generate ideas to solve problems. The program has been very well received by the children with incredible results, stimulating mathematical thinking, improving fine motor skills and increasing confidence and self-esteem in the children.
This methodology allows us to work with all population types, including children with disabilities.
To continue our work and impact lives in a positive way, we are hoping for your ongoing support and collaboration to help us spread the word with other friends and family to further expand and grow our impact.

READING CHANGES YOUR LIFE...
Reading changes your life, it is our slogan with our program and that collects the voices of our beneficiaries.
We have seen girls capable of creating their own stories, narrating in front of a group of 30 people, winning story contests, and above all, being leaders who inspire.
Girl testimonial:
Reading gave me back my security, of believing that I am capable. It helped me improve my reading, writing, creativity, inventiveness... Being part of the Un Mundo program has been my best experience, it has given me knowledge, joy, empathy, leadership...
I'm sure more girls have the same feelings, I can see it in our book club.
To continue helping to change lives, we need you to continue making your contribution and donation, and to share our stories to continue impacting more children.

THE MAGIC OF READING
Reading is a magical adventure that helps to be more imaginative, creative, and to develop critical and analytical thinking skills.
The Literacy Connections program promotes the creation of books, unpublished stories, leadership, empathy, respect, tolerance, among others, as strategies for social change, and through art they can express feelings and emotions.
In the image, a girl and a boy from a community decided to create giant unpublished stories to teach other children to create their own stories. They let their imagination run wild, and were able to inspire others.
TESTIMONY OF THE GIRL AND BOY IN THE PHOTOGRAPH:
-We believe that this type of initiative helps us to discover all our abilities and skills. It helps us to fall in love with reading, and to be aware that knowledge gives us power.
-We want all children to love reading, and with this we are going to achieve many changes in their way of thinking and acting.
To continue making our children's dreams come true, we need to continue to have your collaboration, in addition to sharing our success stories so that other people get on this boat.
Together we can achieve it!

BRINGING EDUCATION TO EVERY CORNER
The COVID-19 pandemic surprised us all, and one of the challenges was to find a way to bring education to all the corners where we work, without putting our beneficiaries at risk.
Our methodology "United from home" sends to each home, the work guidelines that children must develop from their own home. The experience has been enriching because parents have also become more involved in the children's education.
The approach and work helped the school academic indexes to be maintained, and in many of the other cases, it increased, because our playful methodology facilitated teaching-learning.
To continue supporting the literacy of children in this region, we need to continue to have your collaboration, and if you are not part of our project yet, we invite you to join.
Together we can transform education.

HISTORICAL MOMENT IN EDUCATION IN THE REGION
The literacy program promoted by the Un Mundo organization believes in education as an agent of change and development for all its beneficiaries, that is why a historic alliance has been made between Un Mundo and the Municipality of the city of La Ceiba through from the signing of an agreement to grant scholarships to 100 low-income rural girls with student scholarships, which will open up many opportunities in the short, medium and long term.
With this agreement, the educational quality of the region will be strengthened, and work will continue on the literacy and leadership of the beneficiaries of the programming.
Un Mundo thanks each of the people who with their valuable collaboration make these dreams come true, and asks you to please share these experiences with your friends to continue expanding our impact and coverage.
