We are preparing for our 10 year Anniversary Even to be held in November. It is hard to believe we have been an “official” not-for-profit organization for 10 years! We have so many to thank for their continued support of the organization. Over the past year we have been more intentional in our efforts to support early childhood literacy. In June we, along with a group of retired educators from Paraguay, offered a workshop to 40+ teachers and supervisors on the importance of literacy and reading. We then traveled school to school demonstrating reading circles. We provided schools with books to get started as well as some teaching materials. We will continue to support the schools by further “growing” the libraries and providing didactical materials. Thanks to the donations we received we were able to provide a number of schools with computers, photocopiers, printers, projectors, and sound systems. We donated many items to a local nursing home and local health posts and provided medical providers with needed medications.
Throughout the year we shipped hundreds upon hundreds of pounds of donated items, including wheelchairs, walkers, canes, crutches, soccer gear, clothing, medical supplies.
