Help me give my students books in their own language so they can enjoy reading time.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sandman's classroom raised $297

My Project

We have had many students come to our district as migrants from Ecuador. As they come here, many do not know any English. As such, they are finding it difficult to fit into the educational world.

One thing we can do is provide them with books in their own language.

By giving them stories, we are offering them an escape from the hardships they are facing. They are able to travel through the pages and have adventures within the words. By providing them with books, we are offering them joy. Please help in anyway you can.
