Update from Xesampual Library

May 21, 2012
Category: Child Aid News

So many children use the library in Xesampual, the librarian often has to set up tables outside.

This is our third year of partnership with the village of Xesampual. A remote K’iché Mayan community in the department of Sololá, Guatemala. The library here has gotten so popular that that the librarian, a woman named Rosenda Yac Escún, has to put tables outside to accommodate all who want to use it. Ms. Escún, local teachers and the school director have all been working hard to promote the library in the community. And it’s paying off! More children than ever before are using the library and reading independently in Xesampual. Huge thanks to all of you for supporting our Reading for Life program in Guatemala.
