Frank works at a school called Tumul K’in,which means “New Day” in the local language (Mayan Mopan).The school was founded in 2001 by Belizean Filiberto Penados,who received funding(基金) from the United Nations for the project.
Frank said that there were about 60 students in five grades at the school,and they ranged from 12 to 20 years old.
It was different from other schools in the area,Frank said.While most trained youths for work that would take them away from their villages,he said,Tumul K’in trained them for those things they could use locally,such as farming and various trades.
“The difference in education is that students at Tumul K’in learn everything from mathematics and science to agricultural practices and how to raise livestock(家畜),” he said.“The main idea is to help maintain the Mayan lifestyle of village living and help it to be passed on to the next generation.”
As for the radio station,Frank said that the effort was part of a programme originally founded by the UN.
“The radio station has been named 'Ak Kutan FM’,or 'New Day FM’.It will broadcast health information,such as where people can go to get tested for HIV,as well as report local and national news,” he said.For most,it was the first interaction(互动) with the local community that Mayans in this remote village would have.
“I can’t stress enough how little contact many villagers have had with the outside world,”Frank said.“Many have never left their village nor seen something like a telephone,refrigerator or even a world map.”
