Reading is Fundamental...

It was a great way to spend part of the school break: working with other teachers and students, like the Eirena family pictured left, to assemble literacy books for the Kope people. Overall, 21 titles in 4 languages and 2598 books were made by about 20 volunteers and then flown to the village by the translation team. They are being used in a literacy teacher training course taking place now, which will help to empower the local community to be able to read in their heart language.
