For the students at Nueva Providencia Primary School, the library is easily their favorite area. We introduced our Pathway to Literacy (PTL) Project at this school in August 2016. In a little over a year, our PTL Project Team and teachers have worked to revamp the library. Our hard works has paid off, and the small space is almost unrecognizeable. What used to be a room with chairs and books stacked on top of eachother,collecting dust from not being used, is now a buzzing hotspot with organized display shelves, colorful tables, mats to sit on the floor, and student artwork decorating the walls.
The young readers take so much pride in their library, we decided to fix the floors. The students are on winter break right now, helping their families pick coffee for the next two months. We’re taking advantage of the temporarily vacant library to tile the cement floors and give the small space a makeover.
We’re excited to see the looks on their faces in January when they return to a new and improved library! We hope this motivates them to spend even more time reading and exploring. Thank you for your GlobalGiving support and sharing our vision in promoting literacy in rural Guatemala from the ground up!
