Learning to Read

February 23, 2012

This is one of our favorite photos around the office. It’s of a boy from the town of Jocotenango, Guatemala who is fully engaged in a story his teacher is reading as part of our Reading for Life program. This might seem an ordinary scene for someone who is accustomed to schools in the U.S. But in Guatemala, where so few classrooms have books, and where reading aloud is rare, this is a special sight. We hope it brings a little joy to your day. Thanks for helping us bring books and reading programs to so many kids!
