Guatemala, Americas
In Chemal, a community in the town of Chajul in El Quiché department, Guatemala, Gaspar Caba, 24, teaches María Cedillo to read and write in a program under the auspices of the Comité Nacional de Alfabetización, the country’s national literacy committee. Once a week, adults in the community who did not attend school as children meet to learn to read and write basic words.
