Support teachers in remote Eastern Indonesia

Dear Supporters,

Thank you once again for your continued support of this work we are doing in Indonesia.
Because of you, more children are receiving access to good books and are beginning to experience the joy of reading.

The success of the 'Library in the Box' Program in NTT
Over the past months, we have partnered with a local organisation in East Indonesia to bring portable “Library in the Box” units to remote primary schools. Each box provides 120 highquality levelled storybooks, resources that most classrooms in this region did not have before. Thanks to your support and the commitment of our partner, we were able not only to deliver the books, but also to train 19 teachers, equip the schools with a simple borrowing system, and set up childfriendly reading corners in both schools. This has already led to wonderful results:

• 87% of students borrowed at least one book, and brought it home to read
• Teachers facilitated 12 reading sessions, twice what we originally planned
• Children are now reading during breaks, choosing books independently, and even asking to bring them home to read with their families
• Parents have become involved too, coming to school to help their children borrow books safely during the rainy season

These small but significant changes show how access to the right books can really make a difference in these classrooms. We look forward to expand this program to other schools as well.

So again, thank you for making this possible. Your faithful support helps Indonesian children grow not only in their reading skills, but also in their lifelong love of learning.

Dear Supporters, 

As we approach the end of the year, it is a natural moment to pause and look back. We are grateful for the partnerships we were able to strengthen and for the new collaborations that began to take shape throughout the year. All of these efforts help us continue training teachers, sharing books, and spreading a love for reading. At the same time, the end of the year is not necessarily a quieter season for us…

One of our ongoing commitments is to work closely with local governments. We believe this is essential for smoother implementation and for building strong, shared ownership of our programs. We are grateful that in December we will have a concrete opportunity to do this as we train more than 75 teachers in partnership with the local Education Department. This training will take place online, which is a relatively new approach for us. We hope that this introduction will open the door to continued learning opportunities, allowing teachers to keep building on the materials we provide, and ultimately enabling more children to learn to read and to develop a love for reading.

At the same time, we continue to look for donors and partners who share our vision to expand our work in NTT and beyond. If you know someone who may be interested, or if you would like to support this important development yourself, you are warmly invited to make a contribution through our GlobalGiving page.
