Thanks to all who helped us to reach our 2010 goal to revive literacy among 285 rural students in Dominica's southeast!
Jungle Bay, in collaboration with
primary schools in Dominica's southeast region, launched a campaign
to revive literacy among 285 rural students. The campaign reached its goal in less than a year and presented local school libraries with
new, hardcover texts: Caribbean folktales, foreign language
superheroes, poetry, science experiments, and more! Each book donated
through Open Books, Open minds-- Leave a Book Behind represents a
link between distant friends and Dominica's students.
