This amazing project was created in 2010 to improve the well-being and access to education for impoverished children in the seaside town of El Porvenir. In addition to exposing students to English, volunteers work alongside local interns to provide a broad educational base and essential life skills.

Volunteers work primarily with students aged 5 - 11 years, but can also assist with classes specifically for teenagers and dedicated evening sessions for adults. The program runs all year round and welcomes participants who can stay for 2 weeks or longer—some have loved it so much they've stayed for a year! Classes are held Mondays through Fridays, and volunteers typically work for 4 ½ days a week with plenty of free time to relax on the beach and explore the local area.  

As is common in many of the world's poorer communities, the ability to speak English and use a computer unlocks a new world of possibilities and professional pathways for children in impoverished communities when they're older, helping them break the cycle of poverty.
