Angelica's Visit to Pacaja
Hi everyone!
Angelica visited the school a few days ago, and said that Pacaja's current library consists of one shelf of books in a classroom. The school apparently also owns a large empty shelf that can house the new materials your donations will purchase. This is great because it means we can devote even more of the money to books (and less to furniture).
We think that it would be nice to eventually move the library out of a classroom, into its own separate space. Maybe that will be a volunteer project when Kindred Volunteer takes off!
Right now we are waiting for the results of the fundraiser Erin wrote about. Hopefully we can set up some sort of penpal exchange in the meantime, so that when the Guatemalan kids return to school next year (they are on their year-end vacation) they can start writing to the American kids!
Once again, thanks for all of your care and support!
