Skate, Paint & More is an after-school program that offers experiential education through painting, skateboarding, music, and group projects. Most of the local kids had never painted before. Now they’re learning to create, explore, and build confidence in a safe, supportive environment. It’s all free for them, made possible by donations and visiting volunteers.

Here’s a message from @analariospohl from Escuela Libre El Zonte:

“Skate and Paint is growing! We have gained the trust of the local families and we now have more students! We just finished our sixth course and are about to start the next one soon! We need help raising funds to keep our program alive.”

I had the pleasure of meeting @analariospohl around @AdoptingBTC in 2023. My children attended one of her art classes.

I have witnessed live her earnest dedication.

Every time we open a safe learning space for children, we invest in the future.

What Happens When We Let Kids Be Seen

If you’ve watched our last episode or walked by Bitcoin Beach, you know that in El Zonte, there’s a school that doesn’t look like much from the outside. The walls are rough. The supplies are few. And the kids? Most of them didn’t speak in class when they first arrived. Not out of disobedience, but out of shame.

At Escuela Libre, founded by Paola Miranda, no one asks for test scores. They ask how you’re feeling. They ask what you want to make. They give kids the safety to try, the freedom to fail, and the space to be seen. Without even knowing it, they’ve been living Bitcoin values before Bitcoin was cool in El Salvador.

It was started by a group of artists, teachers, and local families who believed something soft and radical: love and dignity are part of learning.

The irony is that in the country where Bitcoin became legal tender, it’s still nearly impossible for this school to raise money. And yet they show up. Every single day.

If you believe in community, freedom, courage… if you believe that all kids deserve to be seen, please consider sending some support.

Let’s show that Bitcoin isn’t just a number-go-up technology. Sure, that’s great… but it’s also a tool for freedom, sovereignty, and community. We are Bitcoin.

A 13-year-old walked into @analariospohl’s art class and asked if he could draw a house.
She said, “Let’s start with a rectangle.”
He looked at her and said, “I don’t know how.”

That was the moment she realized just how much had been lost in the system he came from.

What happens when people stop waiting for someone else to fix things and start doing it themselves? Founder Paola Miranda and Ana didn’t build a perfect school. They built one that works, especially for kids who’ve been forgotten by everyone else. And somehow, in the middle of it all, #Bitcoin showed up as a tool to keep it going...

The episode is out. Watch it and let us know, as a Bitcoiner, what part hit you hardest. Because if Bitcoin is supposed to fix the world, maybe this is what that actually looks like…?

What if Bitcoin isn’t the most revolutionary thing happening in El Salvador? 🇸🇻

We just finished a conversation with @analariospohl, who’s been quietly building an alternative school in El Zonte for over a decade. Most of the kids had never held a paintbrush before. One was 13 and didn’t know how to draw a rectangle.

The government didn’t build this. Institutions didn’t fund it. But a community did. And a few anonymous Bitcoiners helped make sure the doors stayed open.

The episode drops soon so make sure to follow us here and subscribe on our channel (link below in commets). When it does, I hope you’ll watch with the same question we asked ourselves: What if the real revolution was happening far away from the cameras or “Twitter”, and we just missed it?
