YALADH We are the group, YALADH.
and we work under the theme of "Born to Learn." We meet in Arecibo,

month, rotating between the three aforementioned towns.
We are made up of children from preschool to eleventh grade, we have a monthly field trip to different educational places on the island, and also during our monthly meeting we have workshops with the participation of all the children and parents and occasionally invited guests. We have a Reading Club for the children of all ages, and also our monthly edition of the school paper, "Home's Cool News." Language of the group is predominantly Spanish.

Radical Unschoolers Our group
unites families that practice, or who wish to practice, unschooling
(natural learning) or radical unschooling. Children, by nature, have an
extraordinary interest in learning new things and it is very easy for
them to do so.
We meet virtually, online, so that no parent will be limited by geography from attending the meetings. We do this via the chat and video conference program at www.skipe.com . The program is free and you can add our emails: vaneshka_v@yahoo.com, murphyaponte@gmail.com, and bap5858@gmail.com . We also get together as a group for activities. Membership is free.
