Update (April 2009): the
Foundation has wired US$1,000 to the project. The rest of the funds
were secured through other funding agencies. Thanks to all those who
contributed.

This is a request for $2,100 to expand the reading project in Barlovento to a school in a neighboring village. This amount covers a small salary for a facilitator and the rest is for material such as books, paper, paint etc.

Below is the message from the Project Director:

The story reading program: On a regular base the Center lends children’s books to the parents of La Guairita and Madre Vieja to read to their young children. The purpose is to stimulate reading and writing, teach values and to create positive attention activities between parents and their children
Finances are needed for good parenting workshops for the parents, to buy good children story books and other related materials and to pay a full time intern to expand to other villages.
