Most of the students come from families whose parents have little or no formal education. If they did attend school they were taught in Spanish, not Ixil their mother tongue. Light & Life School is producing the first generation of students who will learn in both Ixil and Spanish. Most important--they will be taught the Bible in their mother tongue of Ixil.
