The Asociación Nuevo Amanecer (ANA) aims to improve the situation of poor families in the catchment area of La Venta, Honduras. With an integral training strategy, consisting of scholastic and vocational education and including moral and basic Christian values, our students and apprentices are given a solid basis for their future lives.
Unfortunately, the level of education is poor in most public schools in Honduras, and the basic education of the children is thus inadequate. However, our experience at Nuevo Amanecer shows that most students significantly improve their educational knowledge even after a short time with us. This is one of the reasons why today ANA has the reputation of being the best school in the area and, therefore, even families who are better off send their children to our school and workshops. Of course, these families are able to pay the full tuition and do not receive any support from donations. On the contrary, they help boost the school and the vocational center financially. Moreover, these students positively integrate a variety of backgrounds within our community.
We are constantly working on expanding our range of educational opportunities and infrastructure. So, in the future, we plan to also offer a Bilingual High School and have more professional vocational training opportunities.
Thanks to many donations, ANA could make great progress over the last years. However, the future goal is to be able to run the project, if necessary, even without external donations.
“When a construction project is finished, we seize the occasion to celebrate the event with a big get-together and also invite important persons from government, industry and various organizations.”
