About 10 Australian indigenous people between 25 and 53 years old have concluded their basic studies of reading and writing through the Cuban literacy method "Yo, si puedo" (Yes, I Can), the program's coordinator in the nation Jose Chala said.

The expert of the Cuban Latin American and Caribbean Pedagogical Institute, stated that a second group of 11 indigenous people from 15 to 61 years old will end the literary program in the locality of Wilcannia, 965 kilometers northeastern Sydney.

"Yo, si puedo" enables Australian natives to learn how to read and write in a three-month period, and provide the necessary tools to manage technologies, improve expression abilities, and preserve their culture, Chala noted.

According to the press, Wilcannia, where 60 percent of the population, about 700 inhabitants, is poor and lack work sources, records high parameters of illiteracy, domestic violence, and alcoholism.
