Books .............

This photo has nothing to do with books. It's a corner in San Jose not far from where I spent the night and will be again tonight. Tomorrow I'm going back to Montezuma for a few days. I had hoped to get to the southern Atlantic coast but it looks like it is going to be rainy for another 4 or 5 days. Montezuma has a forecast of 100 degree sun-filled days. Tough decision, but then ...
Okay, then! Here's where the 'books' come in. This is back in Punta Banco (by the way, this village is one of the few - maybe only- that don't have bars on all their windows or gates and barbed wire around their homes). These are elementary age school children who do not have books to read. No library ...
... their school has got to be in one of the loveliest locations on the planet being right on the Pacific coastline. The kids are on their lunchbreak playing futbol (soccer).
The school has an empty room that could be used as a library ... if there were shelves ... and of course books. I am going to see what I can do to get these 'brilliant' students some reading material. I think I have a pretty good resource at home! I'm very much looking forward to seeing how much can be done to accomplish this purpose. I was made aware of this project from Britta who is one of the people who manages the Rancho Burica. She and her husband and their 2 children are living on the Rancho for a couple of years and she would love to see the school have material for the students to read. Her hope is to get both Spanish and Spanish/English books that would be suitable for children whose ages range from 4 to 12 years. I will be keeping in contact with her via email. I can hardly wait to get started!
This is Britta's family ...
Love to all, 'C'
