CARTAGENA - VISIT THE NGO ``PESCADOR DE LETRAS``

FUNDACIÓN PESCADOR DE LETRAS is a non-profit organization. Its purpose is to provide quality education to the children of La Boquilla, which is a fishermen village outside of the City of Cartagena. The main objective is to impulse education and nursing for children. Additional to regular education, the foundation tries to develop different skills of the children, which allows them to improve their quality of life, physical and intellectual development, the conditions in which they relate to their environment as well as the way to face life after school. As they have observed certain difficulties in the learning process because of their hunger, a feeding plan was developed which covers most of their daily nutrition needs. The children are between 3 and 12 years old and they study between the preschool and elementary courses. At the moment there are 126 children assisting 7 courses which will be organized in 5 classrooms.
