Guatemala  Children
This project will train marginally educated mothers of pre-schoolers from six different rural communities in Guatemala to promote pre-literacy skills and the value of good nutrition. Activities held in the library and at home will prepare the children for the formal education system by reducing both the drop-out and malnutrition rates, giving them the chance of a better future. project reportread updates from the field

Honduras  Education
There is a network of 53 rural community libraries in Honduras that is longing for new books and programming support from their central office. A "bibliobus" that can be outfitted as a mobile library is badly needed to service these libraries and even more rural communities with no libraries. Currently some of the more remote communities are being served on horseback. While the volunteers and horses are willing there are limitations to what can be transported by this particular "pony express. project reportread updates from the field
