Thanks to the support of PIME USA donors a bilingual education project by Fr. Luigi Scantamburlo, PIME, was implemented for the 2017-2018 school year. Fr. Luigi reports that 8 teachers and 7 monitors successfully provided bilingual education to 150 students. The children and teachers received bilingual textbooks and the children made great progress in their studies. They are better able to read and write in their own Creole language along with mastering Portuguese for communicating with teachers and peers. They are now better able to comprehend the contents of their lessons and communicate more freely in both languages. Thanks to your care and concern for the most vulnerable, these children have a better and more positive future.
