Edgar is 11 years old and lives in Panimachavac, a small village in the Guatemalan Highlands.  He had no reading habits last year, but this changed when a  small community library was set up.  Today he loves reading and very much appreciates the book you sent, Pulgarcito.  He will share it with many other children.

Belinda is 9 years old and lives in a small village in the Guatemalan Highlands called Panimachavac.  She is thrilled with the book you sent, since she loves to learn and discover new things.  Thank you so much.

Miriam, 12 years old, is reading to her brother Alvaro who is 2 years old. Since most of the mothers in Paxixil, Guatemala don’t know how to read, the older siblings tell the stories. Alvaro loves to hear the stories time and time again, and the whole family is very grateful to you. Thank you Jenni!

Amanda lives in a small village that has recently opened a small community library.  She loves to read, and this book you sent, Miren quienes están leyendo, is very precious to her since it teaches how to love and respect parents.  Thank you so much, Kayla, for enriching this library in rural Guatemala.

Manuel lives in a small village with his mother and five brothers and sisters.  The family cannot afford books, but they all love to read and discover.

The book that was sent thanks to your donation,  Animales Gigantescos, has shown him animals he has never seen.  Seeing this books makes him imagine that they exist in some other place and he loves the pictures.

Thank you so much Meghan for your generosity during the Holiday season.  Manuel and his siblings are having a lot of fun with their new book!

Angel Francisco is discovering the importance of light and shadow reading the book you sent.  He will continue to read in order to learn more.  Every book that arrives at the village is a feast.  He is very grateful, since there are very few books in his community.  He will share this with many children.

Karla is 10 years old and she lives in a small village in Guatemala. Before the small community library arrived, there were no books.  Now she can enjoy reading interesting books and discover things she did not know existed.  She dreams of some day traveling to see the ocean and see all the large fish she sees in the book you sent. Thank you Casey!

Luis Fernando is 10 years old and lives in Guatemala. He is one of 10 siblings.  Luis is grateful for the book, Poemas Escogidos, since he loves poetry and is really good at memorizing the poems he likes. It is rare to find a poetry book in his small village, so this is a real treat. Thank you Casey!

Julisa is 12 years old and lives in Guatemala. She is delighted with the book you sent, ¿Quién Vive aquí? Her father and brothers have told her there are wild animals around where they live , but she has never seen them.  With this book she is learning about the lives of animals and where they live and she likes that very much. Thank you for your gift Casey!
