My Students

Can you visualize 30 kids in a class trying to share 10 dictionaries?

The students of the Spanish class love learning and love speaking Spanish.

They are hindered by their lack of dictionaries that are available for all the students. There are currently 10 dictionaries for 32 students per class. Normal assignments take twice as long to do the same work if the dictionaries were available.

My Project

The translation dictionaries help the students meet the needs of language development. The children require these to become more fluent in Spanish. Fluency means understanding, understanding means love of the language. Helping these students will help them help themselves to be more marketable in their future endeavors.

You are making a difference in the understanding of Spanish and English.

Thank you so much for your support. You will be helping over 180 students a year with minimal cost per student.
