Liz is in Guatemala!

And yesterday she went with Angelica and Orlando (and Penelope!) to donate the books =)
Stay tuned, we'll still have more to give after the 4th grade fundraiser kicks in!

Familiar faces!

More Books

Hi again everyone!
Angelica just finished purchasing the remaining books with our first round of donations.  These books are the ones we mentioned at the beginning of the fundraiser, the different Encyclopedia+Learning sets for each age group.

Don't they look wonderful?  Hopefully they'll enjoy lots of use at La Escuela Pacaja!

On another note, Liz is going to Guatemala soon, so we'll make the donation to the school once she gets to Xela. 

The rest of us wish we could go as well!

And finally, once the 4th Grade fundraiser settles we'll be making another donation to the school.  We should be able to purchase another set of fun storybooks for the children with that money.

Look at all those brand new materials!


Closer look at some of the learning sets.

First round of books!

Hello again everyone!
Yesterday the wonderful Angelica of KindredVolunteer purchased some children's story and activity books from a local library.  Next week she'll begin to purchase the large sets of books for each age-level at Pacaja, which we mentioned at the beginning of this project.  She'll also look into getting educational games to help kids learn! 

It's all thanks to you guys that we've raised so much and are able to buy these extra, fun, materials.

I've attached a picture of the books bought so far, it's nice to see the familiar titles on the chapter books =)
Hopefully the kids will enjoy these stories as much as we all did when we were little.

We'll keep you updated with each new purchase, and we'll be sure to get pictures of the library once it reaches the school and the children!
Something for every age group!
