91-YEAR-OLD STARTS SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME
Catalina Mendoza, 91, entered a classroom for the first time in her life in El Congo, Santa Ana in El Salvador after receiving free school supplies through a government education programme.
Mendoza now attends evening classes alongside her daughter Teresa Tobar, 71, as part of a basic adult education course — saying she feels “very happy” to finally learn to read and write.
