Sol's mother Kenia was one of the youth who worked with the literacy campaign in Nicaragua. When the Sandinistas came to power in 1979, they initiated a program to send teachers to the rural areas. Within five months the illiteracy rate in Nicaragua dropped from 50% to 12%. This is a trailer from a film about the Cuban literacy campaign.
Sol Maria was born in Nicaragua in 1985. She is now a PHD student in the Netherlands. We hope that someday she will reconnect with her U.S. family. We miss her terribly.
