About this project
S. Schmidt from Puente Nica e.V. is responsible for this project
A book is a dream that you hold in your hand.
–Neil Gaiman
In Nicaragua, books are a rarity. Reading is not a common habit, and a good education is a privilege for the rich. Many of the people will never have the means to get a formal education and provide a better future for themselves and their families. Our projects aim to improve educational opportunities in Nicaragua. We consider education as a right that everyone is entitled to, and we see it as key for sustainable development.
We aspire to give young Nicaraguans, that live in the rural countryside access to books. Two pick-up trucks visit a different village each per day throughout the week and bring books, board games, workshops, home work help and a range off different activities to the visitors. and a safe place to live the change to take their future into their one hands. They set up a mobile library with desks and chairs and offer a safe place for kids (and adults) to learn, read and play together.
We need YOUR help to run the two bookbusses.
Thank you do very much for supporting us!
