[TNS-list] BOOKS FOR BELIZE: used book donations for children in English-speaking Central America

[patricia pulvirenti]

Dear Neighborhood School Community,

See the message below from Amikole, a parent at Earth School.  Please help
her gather children's books for her project.  Thanks!


>
>  Dear Parents,
>
> In 2006 my daughter, Afinatou Thiam (5th grader  at the Earth School),
> attended Peter Claver public school in the southern region of Belize,
> Central America.   She had a wonderful experience but was dismayed by the
> lack of resources--specifically the paltry collection of books in the
> school's library.  Earlier this year, I brought down a few books I collected
> and donated them to the school.  The principal was elated and is very
> interested in continuing to obtain books for the children.
>
> I will be returning to Belize this summer and am asking parents and others
> to donate used (or new) books for the Peter Claver school library.  The
> school consists of pre-K through 8th grade, so all book levels are welcome.
>
>
> Although the school does not have a website, the town of Punta Gorda,
> Belize can be found at:  http://www.southernbelize.com/puntagorda.html .
> Attached to this email is a photo of the Peter Claver school library.
>
> If you have any books you would like to donate (or know anyone who does),
> please call or email me or Pascale Setbon at the Neighborhood School, and
> I will arrange to pick them up.   I would like to collect books over the
> next few months and throughout May.  Thank you!
