Christmas Family Library Box Campaign

This year we are raising money to provide 30 boxes of books to the most in need families in rural Andean Peru. COVID-19 has had a significant effect on families and education; school has been cancelled throughout Peru. Without internet access or even electricity many families are struggling.

We have teamed up with The Big Give where all donations have been match funded up to £1125

Donations open 12:00 PM, 1 December 2020 to 12:00 PM, 8 December 2020

What’s in the box? More details coming soon…..

Reading in Quarantine

Due to the global Covid-19 outbreak, the communities of Cajamarca are quarantining to reduce the spread of the virus, yet facing the situation with optimism, patience and faith. Taking advantage of having more time to spend with each other, families are coming together to read the books from the Rural Libraries. Through sharing stories and improving their knowledge of the local traditions, the library books have provided much entertainment and fun for all the family.
