Books, books, books! It takes a library to raise a child. This year we’re working with two public primary schools in Honduras to start community libraries with shelves full of diverse, powerful stories and characters. Are you in Amsterdam, Madrid or Honduras and do you have Spanish-language books for kids aged 5-14 that you would like to donate? Send us a message! . Libros, libros, libros! Se necesita una biblioteca para criar a un niño.

Access to books not only helps improve literacy but can open students’ minds in unimaginable ways. .

Over the last week we partnered with the organization “Students for Children” and the Amsterdam high school “Cartesius 2” to fundraise for two libraries in Honduras! After a day of student run workshops, the 7th grade students spent the weekend pitching the project to their parents and friends to get sponsors for a sponsored run in the Vondelpark. When Monday came round, the students had to brave the snow, rain and wind 🌨❄️🌪 but were able to raise a substantial amount of money (still to be counted...)!! So a big thank you to Students for Children and Cartesius 2 🙏 More information to come in the next weeks! _ _ _ Durante la última semana, hemos estado trabajando con la organización "Students for Children" y la escuela secundaria "Cartesius 2" en Ámsterdam para recaudar fondos para dos bibliotecas en Honduras! Después de un día de talleres dirigidos por estudiantes, los estudiantes de séptimo grado pasaron el fin de semana presentando el proyecto a sus padres y amigos para obtener patrocinadores para una carrera patrocinada en el Vondelpark. Cuando llegó el lunes, los estudiantes tuvieron que enfrentar la nieve, la lluvia y el viento 🌧❄️🌪 pero pudieron recaudar una cantidad bastante grande de dinero (aún por contar ...)! ¡Muchísimas gracias a Students for Children y Cartesius 2 🙏 Publicaremos más información en las próximas semanas! . . . . . #amsterdam #cartesius2 #studentsforchildren #educate #honduras #fundraiser #sponsoredrun #servicelearning #vondelpark #runninginthesnow #learning #service #centralamerica #grade7 #teaching #education #educationmatters #libraries #school #reading #powerofeducation #changemakers #youth #partnership #raisemoney #netherlands

Proud and thrilled to be announcing our 2019 scholarship student, Javier Reyes, who begins his university studies in Computer Engineering tomorrow! Javier recently graduated from the Santiago Pérez Technical Institute in Trinidad, an evening high school that allows students to work during the day and continue their studies in the evenings. Since seventh grade, Javier has spent his days working as a shoemaker and his evenings at school. "It has cost me a lot to graduate from high school and has been a lot of effort. When someone from educate. arrived at my institute and said you had a scholarship to support young people who had the dream of continuing studying, I was so happy because I am a young man with the dream of continuing my education. I want to graduate from university and to be the first in my family to obtain a university degree." Javier’s family could not be more proud of him, and we are thrilled and excited to be able to support such a driven young man in achieving his dreams! . . . . . . #honduras #scholarship #beca #university #uth #uthsantabarbara #computerengineering #trinidad #education #student #studying #opportunity #changinglives #sponsor #proud #family #firstgen #latino #seguiradelante #againsttheodds #centralamerica #ngo #catracho #honduran

Our anti-service philosophy is at the core of who we are. As an organisation, we believe that our role is to foster connections with local communities and to work beneath local leaders and organisations towards our mission of empowering Honduran children and youth. Too often, organisations such as non-profits that work in so-called “developing countries,” aim to “help,” but end up perpetuating highly problematic “us versus them” relationships. In everything we do, we strive to combat this mentality of “service” and the separation it creates between the “server” and the “served.” Instead, educate. works on equal footing with local communities and organisations. We remain aware of the context of Latin America and Honduras specifically and the “othering” that a foreign non-profit working in this context can easily fall into and even foster, and we strive to work against this. We are actively opposed to service work that centres the service provider above the community. What are your thoughts? . . . . . . #decolonizeaid #nowhitesaviors #decolonize #education #honduras #centralamerica #nonprofit #antiservice #whitesaviourcomplex #usvsthem #philosophy #development #aid #othering #nopovertypornhere #power #powerrelations #voluntourism
