With BOOKS for the BARRIOS you know your money and time are well spent. Every dollar of your financial support is turned into approximately $100 worth of educational materials placed directly into the hands of the students and teachers who need it most.
• International Book Distribution Program
Our central program involves collecting high-quality books and educational materials in the United States and shipping them to poor, remote schools in impoverished areas around the world. To date, we have shipped more than 9 million pounds of educational materials to 18 million disadvantaged children.
• International Model-of-Excellence Schools Program
To date, in the Philippines for example, we have transformed 56 underdeveloped barrio schools into learning institutions that set a new national standard. This program helps assure that the materials we ship are used as effectively as possible.
• International Teacher Training Conventions
Scores of volunteer American education development specialists provide advanced training to thousands of rural educators.
