The 5th Annual Children's Book and Film Festival (CBFF) will take place Fridays, July 26, Aug 2, 9 and 16 at Buddhoe Park in Frederiksted. This year's featured books and movies are:
Participating families will receive one free copy of each book and dinner at no cost. We also hope to provide participating families with free school supplies. This year we have invited several government agencies and nonprofits to provide educational resources at the CBFF. Clean Sweep Frederiksted is making a concerted effort to ensure the majority of funds raised are spent within the local St. Croix economy.
To date, we have raised $1475 for the CBFF. $900 is allocated for 25 copies of each book and will be purchased from Undercover Books, a local book store. The remaining funds will be used to pay for food, DVD purchases, and other minor miscellaneous expenses. These expenses will be detailed in the final report.
Additional support of the CBFF include:
The Children's Book and Film festival is the only event of it's kind in the Virgin Islands and possibly the Caribbean. We thank you for sporting this literacy and family friend initiative.
