Sandy...I think they liked the books.
A picture is worth a lot of words. I received this picture from Janneke that she took before she had to leave.
Oh my goodness, you made my day. The old saying that a picture speaks a thousand words is certainly true. I am so happy to see that the children are enjoying the books.
The children in Salasaca are so eager to learn. They cannot learn without books and teaching supplies. I cannot change the poverty and lack of job opportunities in Salasaca, but I can help to support the education of the children. Hopefully, through education, the youth of today will make changes for tomorrow, and I will have helped the poverty in Salasaca afterall.
I was really inspired when I visited the school and saw first hand what your plans and hopes were for the future of the school. Unfortunately, I'm not wealthy...that's an understatement believe me...but I did a poster with some of the pictures I took in Salasaca and copied and pasted some of your blog entries about the school, added comments of my own and put it up in my work place. I placed a plastic container next to it with a plea for donations for the school. Now, I thought I might raise $50 or so, but my fellow co-workers were very charitable and I was shocked that I received a total of $257.00. I rounded it off to $300 and I will send it to you this week.
Thanks for all of your hard work, but most of all for your devotion.
