In addition to improving education worldwide, BOOKS for the BARRIOS educates children at home. We involve U.S. children in breaking the cycle of poverty, promoting awareness of poor conditions in other countries, and sustaining the future viability of our work.
Each year thousands of U.S. children take character development school field trips to our National Children’s Education Sharing Center where they learn about their counterparts throughout the world. The program stresses how children around the world are just like them. In addition to the field trips, hundreds of thousands of additional children participate in accompanying school donation drives each year. These drives emphasize the reuse of educational resources.
