| In the second week of December, the Global Education Fund financed a teacher training activity for over 70 local teachers in the Estelí area. The training lasted from the 8th to the 12th of December covering Spanish, Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The teachers were divided into three groups participating in workshops given by teachers from the Educavida organization - Augusto Aguilera, Glenda Laguna, Darling Aguilera, Mileda Castellón, Anabel Benavides and our own mathematics teacher Saida Espino. The event was coordinated by the Esteli Women's School director Bertha Sanabria. This was an important event for us because it enabled us to facilitate practical coordination between the Global Education Fund and the local education ministry who were interested and impressed by the event. We hope we will be able to coordinate other such events through 2009. We are very grateful to Judy Richardson, Director of the Global Education Fund for making this event possible. | |
