Books for Children

Libros para Ninos: Project School Supplies is actively seeking donations for books in Spanish of all kinds.

The average rural school has less than 20 story books and many literally have none. We are hoping to receive donations of books for children from kindergarten to 6th grade reading level – New or Used.

Maybe you know someone coming to Honduras who can bring a few books? Or maybe you can send some books flat rate?

As 6 year old Carlito said, he “had never seen a book but would like to one day, because (he) already knows his letters.”

Thank you to everyone for sending books! Due to so many people helping out, we are getting a stream of much-needed books for children but still need many, many more. Our goal is to supply 30 schools along with the new Quebracho Regional Library.

A special thank you to classes at St. Bernadette’s School in the Seattle area, who contributed a huge quantity of school supplies – enough to full a couple suitcases – along with $17.20 cash. The St. Bernadette kids are asked to bring a contribution on their monthly “free dress day,” the day they are not required to wear their uniforms. In January Project School Supplies was the beneficiary.
