The Adult Literacy Program at Safe Passage is one of my favorite programs there. It takes the parents of the students and puts them through an education up to 6th grade. That alone can get you a better job and increase your wages. The program aims to teach parents to read, write, and do practical math…. The program started with the mothers, but now the fathers are showing up wanting the classes so that they can set a good example for their kids and to better their lives. I also believe that the program betters Safe Passage in the eyes of the community. With the parents now experiencing Safe Passage first-hand they know it isn’t about a bunch of caring gringos and that the establishment is there to serve a good purpose- to better their childrens' lives and to better their own as well.
