Seeds of Learning is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving educational opportunities in rural Latin America. We work with North Americans and Central Americans to build and equip schools in Nicaragua and El Salvador, educate children and adults, and promote cross cultural understanding. We have a US office in Sonoma, California and field offices in Ciudad Darío, Nicaragua, and San Salvador, El Salvador.
Each year, Seeds of Learning sends ten to twelve work groups of volunteers to Central America. These volunteers spend between 7 and 14 days working with communities in Nicaragua or El Salvador. While there, volunteers partner with communities, form relationships, build bridges and explore each others' cultures while erecting or improving a school building.
This year, SOL partners with five new organizations to increase access to education, work and collaborate with others, and strengthen impact. SOL is very pleased to announce and celebrate partnerships with the following organizations:
- Pencils of Promise to construct and send volunteers to build three schools in Nicaragua, including: El Blandon, Agua Fria (preschool), and Santa Isabel.
- Power to the People to install solar energy on a SOL constructed school in Nicaragua.
- SunPower Foundation to provide solar energy and education to a SOL constructed school in Nicaragua.
- Walking The World to fundraise for a two-classroom school in Agua Fria, Nicaragua.
- One Dollar For Life to help construct and fundraise for the costs of building schools in San Martin, Nicaragua, Santa Isabel, and Utalco, El Salvador.
