Your Help Needed for the Rotary Race to Literacy Project

A special appeal for children…

Scholastic has made available to the Rotary Race to Literacy Project special books for children – with interactive features and textures. Scholastic not only makes ideal early childhood education books, but they are offering books in their packages that cannot be sourced locally – books that the experts have advised are ideal for special needs.

However, donations are needed to be able to source these books. ALL money collected – less service fees from the financial intermediaries – will buy children’s books.

The offers from Scholastic expires on March 15th so there is some urgency to be able to get the books here.  These special books are not available in Jamaica – English books with textures, and Haitian Creole/English bilingual books.

For the English books from Scholastic, US$10 buys 4 books.

See below for more information on the project and how to make a donation to this worthy cause.
