APROQUEN has created educational activities of prevention and awareness. The medical team of APROQUEN visits kindergartens as well as lower, middle and high schools. This innovative program reaches children, teachers, and families around the most vulnerable and high-risk communities of Nicaragua. The parents, teachers and community leaders are trained also, so that they can become trainers themselves.
