School Partnerships for Global Literacy

TALICA supports the following schools on the island of Ometepe, Nicaragua through the purchasing of textbooks and other classroom aids. We never forget that schools are the hearts of communities. TALICA empowers educators and parents to dream what is possible for present day life and for future generations. Together, learning from each other, we will succeed in making dreams reality.

By providing the necessary tools to increase literacy and education, TALICA does not just address present concerns, but looks towards future generations as well.
