Reading Provides Lifelong Learning

 Dear Friends,

We hope all is well with you and yours. We have been visiting some of the schools we have built and support as well as some other schools that are in poor rural areas. One thing we have noticed at many rural schools is that the students do not have access to reading books. In our countries our schools usually have a library and many books that students can use to learn to read. 

This year while visiting four rural schools we noticed that the schools had lesson books but did not have many books for the children to read. The families also cannot afford to buy story books or any reading material for their children. After talking to the teachers and principals we were able to tell them that we could supply the schools with fun and interesting story books for the children. Needless to say the students were incredibly happy to have books to read. As we walked through the libraries or reading rooms it was heartwarming to see so many young people reading and enjoying the books and stories. We were also able to buy teaching materials to help the teachers with the education of the students which they were very grateful for.

Thank you for bringing joy to the children and helping the students happily learn to read and the teachers to have good materials to help them teach. Needless to say the students, teachers and families were thrilled that the children could read interesting and fun books and stories. 

All the best to you and yours.

Until Next time,
Adrianne and Rick
