I've read and heard many wonderful things about the work Escuela Nueva is doing in bringing education to children that live in the barrios in Colombia and around the world. This opportunity opens a new world for them, a one that they wouldn't have discovered without Escuela Nueva's help. Thanks again for your hard work.
Keep up the good work
The challenges that Colombia is experiencing at this point such as political instability, narcotrafic, paramilitares and the displacement of agricultural workers to the main cities, Escuela Nueva is responding to this challenges providing a realistic channel for social mobility through education reverting the never ending cycle of violence.

Un programa como el descrito en "Circulos de aprendizaje - Escuela Nueva" contribuyen a que ni?os y jovenes desplazados por la violencia en regiones de Colombia tengan de nuevo esperanza y vuelvan a creer en que es posible la paz en sus regiones.
Having been all over South America and having seen first hand the problems, this seems to be a refreshing thought for promotion of education.
This program gives us hope for children and families that face a seemingly endless situation of homelessness and violence. I was interested to read about how Learning Circles partner with local and national agencies and thereby address social issues beyond education. What impresses me most about this program is its ability to adapt education to fit the environment of the child, not the reverse, all while achieving positive outcomes. Inspirational!

KIDS, YOUTH ARE THE FUTURE OF A NATION. I READ THERE IS NO GREAT NATIONS WITHOUT GREAT INDIVIDUALS. Young persons ought to know that there must be other ways to solve a conflict rather than killing. Respect human life must be one of the aims on value education. However, LEGAL, AND JUSTICE must be working like suisse machines. People needs to belive that someone who are an outlaw will be punished by the system. The legal systems who support democracy and values to life as peaceful as possible, even knowing that the system is not the perfect one. But Young people have to know, have to experience this and have to be expose to these life respect value to start changing their minds when they become Father or Mother again and have to teach Justice, Peace, Truth values to their kids. By then the present Colombian society will be able to start changing towards a more basic peaceful society. Education is a vital column to change but this will need more TRUE support in other social areas such Legal system and social Economic measures to enhance the living standards of the majority of the colombian people.
Es un proyecto en que busca promover por la educaci?n rural la pobreza que se vive en estas zonas, donde se estan desarrollando estos proyectos en zonas donde la guerra no ha dejado que nuestros ni?os estudien.
Es un proyecto bastante interesante donde se puede observar claramente una metodologia de cambio en los axiomas.
Solo los que vivimos en Colombia, sabemos la verdadera dimensi?n de este problema. La educaci?n es la base de un futuro mejor.
Felicitaciones por este esfuerzo, Colombia necesita este tipo de cosas para salir adelante
This is an impressive initiative and is made more so by the people who are "making it happen"! With the inherent truth that "Education is KEY", I say "Bravo to Vicky Colbert and her fellow staff with Escuela Nueva Foundation. Keep up this very special work!
eye-opener,very informative and educational
As far as I know this has been a great opportunity for children in displacement and is one of the few practices that attends not only to scholarship but also to emotional and social needs of these population.
Wondeful program!
We need more programs like this one.
Thank you for your work on behalf of the most vulnerable of our sisters and brothers and most deserving or out care.
Los C?rculos de aprendizaje constituyen un modelo innovador y flexible para esse?ar educar en contextos de crisis.
Some good people making some great changes for the future
The unfortunate increase of internal forced displacement in many countries around the work makes the learning circles a powerful tool to deal with the return of children to education through a smooth transition where learning combines in an examplary way cognitive and affective dimensions.
It?s unbelievable how much Escuela Nueva has helped Colombian displaced children development and wellbeing. Thank?s for letting them see, there?s still a light?
I have seen displaced children learning, playing and interacting in Escuela Nueva. As displaced people, they had lost everything (home, land, friends, school, roots and sometimes their parents or brothers). Arriving to a city was even more traumatic because the city is for peasant people a place aggressive and incomprehensible. A major city has operation logics and survival mechanisms very different to those that exist in rural life. For these reasons, displaced people - especially children- are even more traumatized by their arrival to cities. In Escuela Nueva I saw those displaced children being happy, learning quickly than urban children in traditional schools and growing their self-esteem. Escuela Nueva makes a miracle for them and with them. It makes the miracle of changing their lives. The real miracle of return to then the desire of be alive and to endow them with tools for a new life, productive and gratifying.
Escuela Nueva is making an incredible work for children and education in Colombia. They are working for the future of this nation, who is suffering every day the consequences of a war. Thanks.
Una felicitaci?n enorme para Vicky Colbert y su "staff" de Escuela Nueva, por el loable trabajo que desarrollan en favor de la ni?ez menos favorecida de nuestro pa?s, Colombia, ?vida de educaci?n para un futuro mejor de vida.
La magnitud del desplazamiento forzado por violencia armada en Colombia es un problema inmesurable y creciente. La experiencia de Escuela Nueva es valiosa porque ofrece educaci?n formal alternativa a la institucionalizaci?n para ni?os que no tienen acceso al sistema tradicional. La metodolog?a para la ense?anza de valores que aplica Escuela Nueva, posibilita el cambio de valores ideol?gicos en los ni?os.
Education is very important. This is a great effort, that should be supported
This program is SO important. I hope that you will choose the Escuela Nueva Foundation to receive your grant.
