25 New Readers in Tzumpango

Thursday 9 December 2010

Filed under: Guatemala, Library, Reading


Congratulations to the 25 students who completed Child Aid’s Reading for Life Program! Just last week, these kids received diplomas from Child Aid literacy trainers, recognizing all their hard work and dedication to reading. What better way to spend vacation than reading! Before Child Aid’s Reading for Life program, these kids had virtually no access to books or literacy programs in their rural Guatemalan community of Tzumpango.

Three excited Reading for Life graduates at the library in Tzumpango.

Now they are even more excited, capable readers than before, with a library in their own town. Child Aid began working in Tzumpango a few years ago and has seen a huge growth in attendance at the library and increased interest in our literacy programs. See previous blog posting for more information about Child Aid’s work in this community.
