My Project

What I love about my students is they love to learn. Getting more books in their hands will only help them in the future. These students don’t always have books to read because they come from low income areas. Giving them more things to read about would expand their knowledge.

Helping these students learn to read different types of books is my goal.

I want them to know that books are important and that they can explore the world through books without going anywhere. Thank you for your help. These students will benefit from your support!
