Lily lives in the remote village of Chajalajya, in Guatemala, and did not have access to storybooks before the Book Mobile arrived. Now, she can read books with friends, and read to her two younger brothers.

Lily especially loves bears, so she chose Leonor Osa Menor. This book has pictures that can teach her about animals that live in the forest.

Thanks to your generous donation of a book, Lily will be able to continue learning and reading with other children in her community!

The mobile library visits his village every two weeks, when he has the opportunity to check out books.  Before the Bookmobile arrived, there were no books in his community.

Thanks to your generous donation, Jose Emilio now has access to books that will nurture a life-long love of reading!

The twenty-five desks delivered to Mirador Tewjuju School in Tecpan, Guatemala caused a great commotion. As they were being unloaded from the truck the children were already sitting on them.  The conditions in the classroom, prior to the arrival of the new desks, were dire.

Large uncomfortable tables and benches were used; they occupied so much space that little room was left for other activities. The children worked diligently to empty and clean the room, and set up the new desks.

The Director of the Mirador Twejuju School and the teacher and students in this classroom are very grateful for your generous support! Sitting in a brand new desk is a true luxury.

Fidel is 11 years old and lives in El Tesoro, a small rural village in the Guatemalan Highlands.  He is so grateful for the book you sent called:  Fabulas de Siempre, volume 1. (Fables) It has many stories and he is learning new words in Spanish. His first language is Quiche, and his father is very happy that he is getting better at Spanish. Thank you for this gift!

Job is 10 years old and lives in Chajalajya, a remote village in Guatemala. He attends school in the morning and helps his father in the fields in the afternoon. Before Pava’s Mobile Library came, his family had no story books. Now he takes books home and is able to improve his Spanish since he is learning so many new words!

The book you donated, Fabulas de Siempre (Classic Fable stories) has many fables in it and he loves to read them to his younger brothers and sisters!

Thanks Billy!

Rosita is 8 years old and lives in Chajalajya, a small rural village in the Guatemalan Highlands. She was very excited to receive “Ratones “(Little Mice), the book that was purchased on your behalf.

Rosita has read the book to her sisters and friends and they enjoyed it as well.  Before the mobile library arrived at her village, Rosita did not have any books to read.  Now she will be able to share this book with many other children in her village.

Thank you dearly for this gift Howard. Rosita sends a heartfelt thank you for your donation.

Mish loves the book you sent and is very grateful.  Mish lives in Chajalajya, a small rural village in the Guatemalan Highlands and his parents are not able to afford books for their children. 

Mish is happy because “Gato con Botas” (Puss in Boots) is the story of a cat, and his parents call him Mish (a Guatemalan word for cat) because he cuddles next to the wood stove to keep warm when its cold outside.  Mish very much enjoys the pictures. His older brother reads to him, since he is five years old and cannot read yet.

Thank you so much Howard for your kind gift. Mish is extremely appreciative of this gift!
