Rogelia, 55 years old, El Salvador. ''I always wanted to improve my writing and reading in Spanish. I am in the 2nd level of Spanish and I also started to study English. The literacy classes at CENAES, are very important, because now I already learned about Verbs, Adjectives, Nouns, capitalization, punctuation symbols, etc. I also learned how to add and subtract. I feel like a different person and it's like I am just opening my eyes to life.... Thank you for helping me,  my goal is to learn my Spanish and English language well. Thank you CENAES!".

Cesarina B. 48 years old, Dominican Republic. "My parents never let me go to school. I was the oldest of 5 siblings. Every day I helped my mom with the housework and took care of my siblings. I always told my mom that I wanted to go to school, because my friends were studying and I just stayed at home helping, that's how the years went by. My family and friends write me on my cell phone and I can't answer, it makes me very sad.... Today I want to learn to put my name and read and write".
