María del Rosario, a high school graduate, has been teaching adult literacy during the last four years. Her husband is a farmer and she is a homemaker. She takes care of her home during the morning, and at 12:30 she takes her daughter to school. She teaches from 1:00 to 3:00 in one place, and then goes to another class from 4:00 to 6:00. She gets back home around 7:00 pm.
“An announcement was made at church that they needed facilitators to help adults who hadn’t had the opportunity to learn to read and write. That’s when I got the desire to help my fellow man and serve as an example to them to share with them that which I had and they didn’t. And later they had a meeting at another church, and that is where I met Sister Dimpna. I signed up for the course to learn to be a facilitator, so it is through her I came to having this circle.”—María Lemus
