Cuban Literacy Method Benefited Almost Six Million People around the World
Thursday, 19 January 2012 16:58
Havana, Cuba, Jan 19.- Almost six million people in 28 countries all over the world have learned to read and write thanks to the Cuban literacy method ‘Yo si puedo’ (Yes, I Can).

According to Enia Rosa Torres, an advisor to the Cuban Minister of Education, 5.8 million people have already learned to read and write using the ‘Yo si puedo’ method, while 723,900 others have benefited from a similar Cuban methodology called ‘Yo si puedo seguir’ (Yes, I Can Continue), which guarantees elementary instruction.

During a press conference offered in Havana on Wednesday, Enia Rosa Torres said that there are currently more than 2,200 Cuban education specialists making their contribution in 28 countries, with priority given to the member nations of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of the Americas (ALBA).

The official noted that, thanks to the efforts of the Cuban professionals and the methodology, Venezuela, in 2002; Bolivia, in 2009; and Nicaragua, in 2011, were declared territories free from illiteracy.

The Cuban ‘Yo si puedo’ method —which received two honorary mentions from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2002 and 2003— has 14 versions, eight of them in Spanish, one in English, another one in Portuguese, and one in Creole for Haiti. There are also versions in Aymara and Quechua for Bolivia, and in Tetum, for East Timor. (acn).

SIX UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES TO LIVE BY- GOODMORNING


So many of us want to live more simply. In our search for strategies, focusing on these six basic principles that are common to all humanity can help us make underlying shifts in the way we live our lives, so we can live more in accordance with these deepest human values and principles.

Find out the six universal spiritual principles common to all people, here:

Kindness
Being kind to all life is a choice we can make in every moment of every day–doing as little harm and as much good as we can, given our situation.

Compassion
By putting ourselves in others’ shoes we may understand their struggle. The roots of the word compassion are “to suffer with;” by practicing voluntary radical simplicity, we will better understand the situation of the world’s low–income people. Most spiritual traditions extend compassion to all life, the Earth as whole, and the beholder (that’s you!)

Love
The intense concern a mother has for her child, and the child for its mother is one example of unconditional love. Most of us entered this world in the space of love. when the child no longer relies on its mother for nourishment, warmth, and safety, the Mother Earth takes over meeting our needs. This space of intense concern can be extended to all life.

Responsibility
When we love others and the Earth we will naturally want to be accountable for our influence on their welfare. In a global economy, truly being accountable for the implications of even our smallest actions is a tall order. It we transition to a bioregional lifestyle where we see the results of our choices ad we cultivate a love for all life, we might be more willing to be accountable.

Limits
Self-imposed limits and restraints are part of a spiritual life. We can grow to love limits as they focus our energies into positive, helpful activities that do no harm.

Fascination
To see the wonder and miracle of even the seemingly common things helps us appreciate our brief time on this planet. We draw a breath. . . and then another. . . What a miracle!
