More than a language learning site, Illuminar will combat poverty, child labor, and many more evils of income disparity in Latin America by preparing 180 million children for college, career and life. Latinos know income is correlated with English proficiency so their common dream is to learn English. We believe they need to master it like a well-educated "gringo". Why wait decades to fix the broken, corrupt systems in 21 countries when Illuminar will help them all in Q1 2016 for just $50,000?
