Dear donors, We are very please to announce that the project has completed it's initial stage of preparation. The books are now finished thanks to the amazing work done by FEM volunteers and the students of Bellas Artes who dedicated their time and talents to create the beautiful illustrations. We are very happy with the final product and can't wait to get them published.
We are continuing our weekly etnoeducation program in Araca, where the project was designed, and the children are all very encouraged by the process of creating the books. They can't wait to see the final product of their work. They deserve to have books that they can identify with, to get the same joy from reading as children get from all over the world. Without developing reading skills at a young age, it is very difficult for children who grow up in rural and impoverished areas go on to further education.
The next step is to find a publishing company that could help, if you have any contacts, please feel free to share them with us. We are also looking for help in training librarians, constructing libararies and book donations. If you have any resources that could help, feel free to contact us at etnoeducacion@femcolombia.org.
We need your ongoing support to continue progressing with this project, so please share and donate.
With love,
FEM
