Reading is a weapon to overcome ignorance!
One of our main goals as an NGO is to give everyone the opportunity to read. We know books are expensive in Honduras, and not everyone has the chance to buy and stock as many as they want. However, each family has at least one cellphone that can be used to read whenever they go to town.
For that reason, we are helping to create VIRTUAL LIBRARIES. With a cellphone, individuals and families can go to a municipal library and download reading material. We started this project in Camasca, where Shoulder to Shoulder is headquartered.
Today, we are pleased to share that a new municipal library has been inaugurated in San Juan, Intibucá. Watch Mayor Santiago Ariel Benitez in the video below, as he talks about the new library.
We are thrilled that the program is EXPANDING. As more Mayors are taking leadership and ownership of the project in their municipalities, we will continue helping them to achieve these dreams together, shoulder to shoulder.
Thank you very much for helping us make this possible!
