WORKING TOWARDS LITERACY
(Second of Two Photos)
SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras -- As her son plays beside her, a woman
practices spelling and handwriting in her home near San Pedro Sula,
Honduras. She is one of the women in her barrio who is enrolled in
the Alfalit program.
The Alfalit approach to literacy emphasizes "skill" rather than
"content" and includes simple arithmetic in its curriculum. The
interdenominational literacy project also has programs in Honduras
prisons and military camps.
