The Friends Project English class in Las Minitas, Nicaragua

The Friends Project is proud to sponsor an English class in Las Minitas, the mountain community in which we work with the pine-needle basket and eco-tourism cooperatives. This is also where the new elementary school is. In fact, the classes are held there.

Residents had been asking for an opportunity to learn English, to advance their skills to obtain jobs, general interest and to better communicate with tourists. We are supporting a three-month beginner class, with Manuel Munguia, center front, teaching.

Manuel received a scholarship to attend college in 2011, and is a great English teacher. In 2009, he was a beginner himself and has skyrocketed.

He walks up the three hours every Sunday for an afternoon class, stays overnight with a family so he can teach a second class Monday morning, before walking back down to El Sauce.

great job everyone!
