La Esperanza Granada

Located in Granada, Nicaragua, La Esperanza Granada is a volunteer group that focuses on the education of children. The group was started in 2002 in a small neighborhood on the outskirts of Granada, and it now helps more than 2000 children in impoverished neighborhoods. The volunteers of La Esperanza Granada go to rural schools to help teachers tutor young children, develop sports programs, introduce children to computer management, and teach English as well as help stimulate their interest in learning. Volunteers come from all over the world and work for varying periods of time. No fees are charged for these programs and fundraising is completely voluntary.
