Thanks to you many donors and supporters we have reached our goal with our first GlobalGiving project and are now ready for our new OUTREACH PROGRAM to better connect with our many schools, teachers, parents and children in rural communities.
Our Outreach Program is different from our Big Reads program in that with the Outreach Program we are looking at ways to keep children interested in reading and writing throughout the year as well as developing closer working relationships with teachers and children in rural Mexican communities. We have found that our Big Read program has been very successful at getting children interested in reading for the first time, but that efforts need to be made year round to keep them engaged as readers until they have fully developed the habit of reading on their own.
We can do this by growing our volunteer program, expanding our pop-up library services, and offering a creative writing summer camp for kids who otherwise don't have access to books, libraries, and summer learning opportunities.
