The Light of Teaching reaches La Paz town in Bolivia, thanks to the dedication of 28 Guantanamo educators, including Disneyis Quesada Arias, coordinator of the “Yo, sí puedo” (Yes I can) program, which has a positive impact in the population of that South American country.
The Guantanamo internationalist teacher pointed out that the educational method for adult literacy passed its first stage in that community, where the beneficiaries demonstrated reading skills and can do it fluently.
This achievement is dedicated to Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, whose dreams of fairness and equity.
“Yo, sí puedo” is an audiovisual program, alphanumeric, aimed at young people and adults (15 years and over), illiterate pure functional and / or special. It consists of 65 classes of 30 minutes each, with a maximum duration of three and a half months.
It was conceived to teach reading and writing in a short time, which can be applied to a large number of people at the same time and also be easily adapted to any type of illiterate and in any language condition.
It develops four basic skills: watching, listening, reading and writing, and starts from the known (numbers) towards the unknown (letters), which enables a greater understanding of the participants.
Its implementation is based on the spirit of voluntarism of both the students and the facilitators who offer the classes.
