Educational Alternatives in a Time of Crisis

Nicaragua has been engulfed in a serious political crisis since mid-April. Many of the universities have closed out of concern for the welfare of the students, as many of the protestors are students and the universities had become centers of conflict.
As a result, the scholarship students of Fundación A. Jean Brugger have been out of school for months. In addition, because tourism has collapsed, the economy of San Juan del Sur has suffered enormously. Many businesses have closed, and the students who had jobs have lost them.
Unfortunately, at this time there is no end in sight for the political crisis, which means no one has any idea when the universities will reopen.
​The staff of FAJB, in concert with the Board of Directors, has been working to develop special programs for the scholarship students so this time will not be a complete loss.
Many friends of the Fundación have stepped up to help create a fund for these special programs. We feel this is a vital investment in the future of our students who have been idled through no fault of their own, and we hope you can help us fill their time with programs that will change this difficult time into an enriching and productive experience.

Update:
​

In late July, 2018, 28 students began taking English classes at Escuela Adelante, a nonprofit bilingual school in San Juan del Sur, who is partnering with us by offering a discount on the classes. There are two groups, beginner and intermediate. Both groups attend classes twice a week, two hours each session. The classes will go through mid-December.
 Other programming is currently in development, including : 
  • Inter-student exchange, for example a computer engineering student can help another who is struggling with computer skills.
  • Seminars in personal-finance given by the economics and finance students (this idea was proposed by a student).
  • Small projects, for example an improvement in an elderly person’s home to help them with mobility.
  • Lectures and seminars given by professors and businesspeople, free and available to the entire community.
