I am back to teach with Fundacion En Vía, a group dedicated to micro lending, education, and responsible cultural tourism. As it turns out, they have a campaign to raise money for a much-needed van, and, though the donation is not tax-deductible, you can make a huge difference by even sending a small amount. Please visit their campaign page and watch the video (Campaign page – http://igg.me/p/423618/x/2537534) and learn more about the great work they are doing, and please consider giving something.

Please help support this cause; it is good work and is making a difference in our world.

What You Can Get for 650 Pesos

shewhodaresnothing

tour9

Thursday, after Spanish class, I went on an En Via tour. It started out at the restaurant of a loan recipient who used the funding to make a concrete floor, put a roof on the shop, and make other improvements. Our next stop was at the beautiful church in Teotitlan del Valle where we met one of the women who’d received a loan in the past and was looking to get another in July.

The program has an incredible one percent default rate. Much of this is due to the process they use. Women must form a group of three (they can be different businesses or parts of a business; they can be family or friends). The point here is accountability and support. The women also must attend a series of business workshops and pay back the funds in small increments on a weekly basis. The starter loan is 1300…

The teaching of English in Indonesia’s primary schools will end next year as the government attempts to reverse falling standards in Bahasa Indonesia.
Deputy education and culture minster Musliar Kasim announced an overhaul of the curriculum that will see English classes cease by July. He told the Jakarta Post newspaper that students need more time to master their first language.

“Elementary schools won’t have English lessons because [students] haven’t learned to understand the Indonesian language. Now even some kindergarten students take English courses. I pity the kids,” Musliar said.

The ministry also plans to focus more teaching time on religion and Indonesian culture at the expense of science and social studies, the newspaper reported. English language classes will start from junior high school in state…
